Two Vancouver-based artists are in the spotlight in new exhibitions at Burnaby Public Library branches.
The Burnaby Art Gallery is opening two new off-site exhibitions, one at the Metrotown library branch and the other at the McGill library branch.
At Metrotown, visitors can check out Portals of Time: The Best of Famous Empty Sky, running from March 31 to June 8.
Famous Empty Sky is a Vancouver artist who's known for her mixed-media artwork as well as her work as a facilitator in workshops that have resulted in several collaborate works of art.
She started her Portals of Time series on New Year's Day of this year, originally intending it to be a one-month project - a project that was extended when the Burnaby Art Gallery expressed interest in showing the collages at the library.
The work was selected from 64 artworks that had been completed in the medium of collage, photomontage, digital collage and 3-D collage.
The Metrotown (Bob Prittie) library branch is at 6100 Willingdon Ave.
In North Burnaby, at the McGill library, visitors can check out the work of photographer Stuart McCall.
His images have been featured in publications such as Time, Fortune, Saturday Night, Photography Monthly and the Times of London, as well as in books by National Geographic and Douglas & McIntyre.
Since the 1990s he has worked with Vancouver artist Neil Wedman on various photo-based projects that have been widely exhibited.
His work has been recognized in the Lotus Awards and the International Photography Awards.
Work in the library exhibit will include prints of his photos of Port Mann Bridge construction.
