PROCESS - A joint exhibition from Artpoint Galleries and the Heritage Weavers and Spinners Guild of Calgary.⁠
⁠
"Every artist has their own way of approaching the creation of their work.⁠
Individual creative processes are multi-layered, personal expressions – captivating both the artist during its conception and construction and the viewer once completed."⁠
⁠
Process runs until March 31, 2025 on the 3rd floor of cSPACE Marda Loop.⁠
