2012-13 Mentorship Program Exhibition

Posted by
Apprentices this year have created works investigating dominant forms of knowledge, the transference of power, and wilderness as refuge. Highlighting the talents of emerging artists Judy Arsenault, Wes Johnston, and Christine Waugh the exhibition will also include work from their individual mentors Janice Leonard, Ilan Sandler, and Steve Higgins.
VANS in the Hub is a peer juried exhibition open to VANS members twice annually. The Hub Gallery is located at The Hub, a creative and innovative, work inspired office and meeting space that attracts innovative self-employed professionals, small businesses, and other professionals.
This series began with paper-based ephemera – such as personal lists, envelopes and notes – that were cut-and-pasted onto clipboards, then overlaid with maps and images and, as sequenced works of art, posted onto the walls of the Gallery.
Based in Dartmouth, Hannah Minzloff is a respected member of the arts scene in Nova Scotia, where she is a documentary photographer creating community portraits.
