The Alberta Craft Council is pleased to offer Banff Craft & Heritage, in partnership with The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies.
This Tour includes:
Guided tour of museum exhibitions:
Menagerie of Disappearance: Unites four unique artists, each employing diverse mediums to explore a common theme. Through photography, textiles, sculpture, and drawing, these artists provoke contemplation of our evolving environment. With an international presence, they join together to collectively narrate the tale of our troubled relationships with the creatures and environments around us. Jude Griebel, Eva Brandl, Tamara Kostianovsky, Lorraine Simms.
Time: In the Mountains strives to capture the different heartbeats of the earth over time, observed by Ilana Manolson while painting, hiking, and working in the Rocky Mountains. A distinguished painter, printmaker, and naturalist who has been shown in galleries throughout North America, Manolson combines her talents here to create visually confounding and expansive works that unfurl like rivers, trails, and scrolls.
