DAVID ELLINGSEN PHOTOGRAPHY

A lovely event at the Art Rental + Sales showroom at the Vancouver Art Gallery last Tuesday. I spoke to an attentive group of members from the Young Associates membership last Tuesday, along with Manager Donna Partridge and fellow ARS artist Lisa Ochowycz.
Membership has it’s privileges…

“The Young Associates (YA) Membership offers a rising generation of art enthusiasts the opportunity to expand their involvement in the contemporary art world by aligning themselves with the Vancouver Art Gallery. YA Members are a dynamic group of professionals who want to support the Gallery in a meaningful way. Members of the Young Associates enjoy distinct social and educational events and behind-the-scenes access while actively supporting the work of the Gallery.”

From February 3rd, see work from the Future Imperfect series at “Victoria Collects: a View into Private Art Collections from the Region” at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

“Victoria Collects features more than 60 major artworks on loan from private collections across Victoria. These paintings, photographs, prints, sculpture, and drawings by artists ranging from Rembrandt, Andy Warhol, Piet Mondrian, Tom Thomson, E.J. Hughes, Betty Goodwin, to Ed Burtynsky illustrate the immense diversity in collecting styles and approaches that can be found in our region. Victoria Collects is more than a snapshot of fabulous individual pieces; it is a venue for narrative and exploration answering: Why do people collect? What drives them?”
