INtersections - 2018
SOHEILA ESFAHANIInspired by her experience of living in both Western (Canadian) and Eastern (Iranian) cultures, Esfahani's work focuses on cultural translation, and investigates cultural transfer and transformation. Her own experience as an immigrant influences her work: she departed her original home (Iran) and now live in a third space, identifying as neither Canadian nor Iranian, but someone in-between. After the exhibit, the work will be circulated in the community, with email correspondence with those who find them.

ALAN SYLIBOYMi'kmaw artist Alan Syliboy's The Thundermaker exhibit is a spectacular mixed-media exhibit that became his children's book. In the narrative, based on a Mi'kmaw story, Big Thunder teaches his son, Little Thunder, about the important responsibility he has making thunder for his people. Little Thunder learns about his Mi'kmaw identity through his father's teachings and his mother's traditional stories. Syliboy's spectacular, vibrant artwork brings the story of Little Thunder to vivid life.

Current Gallery Call - rev•o•lu•tion
At Ross Creek , we approach each season's shows as a way of examining a theme or our world through a variety of lenses. We begin with a concept and ask submitting artists to propose a show which takes the word and examines it in their own individual way (or through a group show). We welcome submissions from professionally established artists and craftspeople with a distinct concept for a show based on this theme within our space and in our community. Please note that we also welcome (and encourage) shows where the artist can do a residency at Ross Creek before or during the exhibit, and ask that you consider our audiences (multi-generational) when making your submission.

Our gallery in 2019 will focus on the world of change, natural, human-led, personal, and/or political, and we encourage artists and craftspeople to make submissions which reflect that theme in whatever way you interpret it, while making a rationale within your submission letter.
