SAVE THE DATE — OPENING RECEPTION

📅 Friday, October 9, 2026
🕖 7:00 PM
📍 Harcourt House Artist Run Centre

Join us for the opening reception of two new exhibitions:

Wenda Salomons: gesture
Main Gallery
Salomons explores the Alberta landscape through abstraction, movement, and experimental photographic processes. Her photographs combine pinhole exposure with camera movement to create atmospheric, dreamlike landscapes with a painterly quality. The exhibition invites viewers to consider landscape not simply as something observed, but as something experienced through movement, perception, and the photographic process.

Raymond Thériault: Urban Portraits
Haakonson Family Gallery
Thériault’s vibrant and meticulously detailed paintings explore contemporary urban life through architecture and city spaces. Concrete, glass, brick, stonework, curbs, and doorways come together with subtle human presence to create richly layered scenes that capture the energy and character of the city.

Exhibitions: October 9 – November 21, 2026
Opening Reception: Friday, October 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM

We hope to see you there!
