Art Talk presents Charmaine Wheatley and Justin Tate
Artists-in-residence at the Confederation Centre Art Gallery & P.E.I.
National Park
Tuesday, August 7, 7 pm
Wheatley and Tate arrived in July to assume their posts at Cavendish
Grove in PEI National Park, where they are living during their
residency. They are creating art inspired by their experiences in the
park and the people they meet there day-to-day.
Wheatley records her keen observations with watercolours and will
assemble her paintings of the park in a comic book at the end of the
summer. Tate finds inspiration in the nature surrounding him, using his
ample imagination to create "new" species of animals from plaster casts
and recycled or found material.
Hosted by artists and curators every Tuesday at 7 p.m., Art Talks are
free informal discussions on art theory and history, artists and their
work, and upcoming or current gallery shows. Everyone is welcome and no
previous knowledge on the topic is required.
