Call for artists in response to oil spill
A call has been sent out to artists affected by the Husky oil spill to help create an exhibition.
The Chapel Gallery in North Battleford is putting out a call to artist to create pieces and artistic work as a response to the oil spill in late July. The pieces will be put into an exhibition called As Long as the River Flows.
Curator and Manager of Galleries for North Battleford, Leah Garven said artists are able to speak through their work and create pieces to represent the spill and its effects.
“Artists often can speak to the events that happen in our lives and have a deep connection to the land and to environmental concerns. It’s a way that we as artists can speak on social issues,” Garven said.
