Join us for an exclusive exhibition walk-through with Jesse King, curator of the City of Toronto’s Market Gallery exhibition SKY & BONE (401 Richmond St. West, suite 128) at 5:30 p.m. After that, at 6:00 p.m., the Market Gallery and Vtape present a special screening of Robert’s Paintings (directed by Shelley Niro), an intimate and deeply moving portrait of acclaimed artist Robert Houle. Experience how Houle transforms memory into art, using his paintings as powerful sites of testimony, where childhood experiences, Canada’s colonial history, and the stories of others who walked similar paths come vividly into view. Attend this screening to witness art as memory, resistance, and remembrance.
