FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Charlottetown, PE –— This October, the Confederation Centre Art Gallery launches four bold exhibitions that invite audiences to see home, community, and creativity in new ways. From the playful subversions of comic art to immersive explorations of nature and technology, the fall season highlights both Island talent and diverse artistic voices.
The season begins with TRASH! (Oct. 3), featuring ten artists from the Charlottetown Comics Club who reimagine familiar comic book tropes with wit and mischief, curated by Pan Wendt. Undergrowth (Oct. 3), curated by Christiana Myers, highlights the work of nine emerging artists from Atlantic Canada and surrounds visitors with drawing, sculpture, textiles, installation, and virtual reality—blurring the boundaries between ecology, storytelling, and technology.
“Undergrowth is an exhibition about how meaning moves, circulates, and takes on new life through exchange. Across diverse approaches and mediums, each artist shares a sensitivity to the quiet processes of transmission, where change and connection happen almost beneath the surface. My vision for the exhibition was to create an environment where visitors could see the familiar bend and the curious bloom through shifting textures, colours, forms, and scales, offering a space to notice how ideas take root and transform,” says Christiana.
Opening on Oct. 18, A New Definition of Home, presented in partnership with the PEI Crafts Council, spotlights the work of Island artists and artisans exploring how shifting life circumstances reshape our sense of belonging, while Together with Time offers a fresh take on the gallery’s permanent collection, showing how art continues to evolve across generations. The works selected for this exhibition embody art’s capacity to bring past and present together in imaginative ways.
Celebrate the season of creativity with us on Saturday, October 18 at 7 p.m for our Fall Gallery Opening Reception. Join curator Pan Wendt for a casual reception, meet some of the artists, hear their stories, and enjoy refreshments as you explore these inspiring new works. Everyone is welcome.
