Re View Exhibition 4

Re View
Exhibition 4
November 3, 2023 – January 13, 2024

It has been 10 years since Gallery Lambton closed its doors at the former Bayside Centre and moved down the street to re-open in the historic Thom Building as the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery. To honour its first decade in this purpose-built facility, the gallery is installing a series of exhibitions over the next year and a half titled Re View. The exhibitions place the gallery’s permanent collection in the spotlight and celebrates the power of art. Each exhibition will feature a range of artworks that will be accompanied by audio tours written and voiced by gallery volunteers.

This much anticipated fourth installment of Re View is set to captivate art enthusiasts and curious minds alike with the works of five new artists: B.C Binning, Agnew Depew, Jane Hunter, Rita Letendre, and Walter Tolles. Highlighting the essence of the latest Re View installment are all new audio tours, designed to enhance the visitor experience. Each tour promises a diverse range of encounters from moments of quiet introspection to thought provoking questions crafted to lead visitors towards discovering hidden symbolism within the art.

One of the exhibition’s standout features is the exclusive first-hand perspective audio tour by local artist Jane Hunter. Hunter shares her personal journey, recounting how the changes in downtown Sarnia inspired her watercolour masterpiece in the Gallery’s permanent collection. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in her narrative, gaining invaluable insights into the intersection of art and urban evolution.

This celebration would not have been possible without the support of volunteers that are committed to enriching their community through art. Thank you.

We also extend thanks to the donors and patrons of the gallery who allow us to share these artworks with the community.
