Richmond Art Gallery

Richmond Art Gallery Presents: Mask by Arthur Renwick

First Nations artist Arthur Renwick was born in Kitimat, British Columbia and is currently based in Toronto. Arthur Renwick builds on his previous exhibition, Mask, with a new body of work Mask: Artists and Curators. In this series, Renwick exhibits larger than life portraits of First Nations artists and curators who participated in a curatorial conference in Vancouver in 2009. Many at the conference were accustomed to questioning and challenging their "Indian" identity in their work. Already familiar with the stereotypical portrayal as recorded by history, pop culture, and the contemporary lens, they were asked to gaze back into the camera and "pull a face" in response. The result is a body of images that depicts a culture alive, reactive and very comfortable with challenging and mocking the norm. The exhibition will feature four of the original Mask photographs and 12 new works.
Richmond Art Gallery is located in the Library/Cultural Centre building.


Richmond Museum

Richmond Museum Presents: From Far and Wide - The Eppich Collection

The story and vision for this extraordinary collection begins with the Ebco Group of Companies, founded by twin brothers Helmut and Hugo Eppich. Inspired by the multicultural make-up of their workforce, the Eppich's shaped a corporate philosophy to encourage respect for the individual and his or her unique cultural heritage.
Richmond Museum is located in the Library/Cultural Centre building.
