Art lovers, be sure to stop in to a library branch near you to check out the latest off-site exhibitions by Burnaby Art Gallery.
The Burnaby Public Library’s McGill and Metrotown branches are both hosting newly opened exhibitions – running until Aug. 12 and Aug. 11, respectively.
At the McGill branch (4595 Albert St.), you can check out Full Circle Collective: Passage of Time. The work by the art collective is showing for the first time since it became part of the city’s permanent art collection in 2018.
The professional artists’ collective came together after working closely with each other at the Malaspina Printshop. Working together allowed them to explore and create mixed media works that weren’t bound by the traditional constrains of printmaking. This collection was created by the group in 2010.
The collective, which was featured in an exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery in 2017, has since disbanded.
At the Metrotown branch (6100 Willingdon Ave.), you can see Harry Grunsky: The Tree, a collection of paper cut collages by the East Vancouver artist. The works were made specially for this exhibition, and they depict the tree growing outside Grunsky’s kitchen window.
