Precious Metals - Historic Silver from Newfoundland Churches -- Visit the AGNL, St. John's Arts and Culture Centre, from June 1-Sept. 28 to view beautifully crafted and historically important liturgical objects from parishes across the province. The AGNL has gathered nearly 60 communion cups, plates, monstrances, croziers and other silver pieces -- dating from the mid-17th to the early 20th century, which reveal an evolution of decorative art styles. Many of the pieces are outstanding works by master smiths from Ireland, England, France, Italy and Quebec. One piece, a bread plate still used in a Trinity Bay church, is the only example yet found of silver made in Newfoundland by John Lyon of St. John's in the 1840s. Until the AGNL undertook research in 1995, through guest curator Don Beaubier and his associate, Cle Newhook, most of these objects were out of sight, out of use, and unrecognized for their quality of workmanship and their historical links.
Pathways: Tara Bryan and Diana Dabinett -- Only a few days left to see Pathways, a collaborative, multi-media exhibition inspired by the coastline between Shoe Cove and Flatrock. Pathways features the amazing work of Tara Bryan and Diana Dabinett, and is at the AGN L until May 25.
Shaped by the Sea -- This ongoing exhibition of Newfoundland and Labrador art in the Permanent Collection reveals images drawn from the fishery, the landscape and coastal environment, outports, stories and the people of this "rock within the sea." The artists featured include Christopher Pratt, Don Wright, Heidi Oberheide, and Anne Meredith Barry.
Re-thinking the Rural in Contemporary Newfoundland Art -- This exhibition, which runs from June 1-Aug. 24 at the AGNL, is guest curated by Cliff Eyland. Mr. Eyland, a Winnepeg-based artist, takes the view that existing assumptions about "rural" artists -- that they are folk sculptors, wildlife painters and others divorced from current ideas about artmaking -- are no longer correct. He turns the spotlight on 10 artists working in this province: David Morrish, Marlene MacCallum, Les Sasaki and Beatty Popescu (all of Sir Wilfred Grenfell College), Scott Goudie, Mannie Buchheit, Sharon Puddester, Suzanne Swannie, Pam Hall (currently artist-in-residence in the Faculty of Medicine) and Marlene Creates.
