A new gallery opens in Ottawa Thursday, June 13, with an exhibition of four female artists exploring questions of identity.
Studio Sixty Six is a gallery and event space in Above Ground Studios, a small hive of artist workspaces upstairs at 66 Muriel St. in the Glebe. The studio is run by artist and interior designer Carrie Colton.
The opening exhibition is Systems of Identity, with works by Jennifer Stewart, Nathalie Poirier, Olivia Johnston and Whitney Lewis-Smith. “Personal identity becomes a system that determines the choices we make, and by which we guide our morals,” the event page on Facebook says. “This constant exchange between heart and mind guides the direction of our lives, accompanying us until death.”
The vernissage is 6 to 8 p.m. today (June 13, and the exhibition continues to July 17. See www.studiosixtysix.ca for more information.
