SUMMARY:Alberta Craft Council Presents: Artist Reception for Victoria Sanchez
DESCRIPTION:Alberta Craft Council Presents: Artist Reception for Victoria Sanchez\n\n\n\nRSVP HERE \n\nEveryone is invited to meet the artist at this free SPOTLIGHT Reception for Traces of Becoming by Victoria Sanchez\n\n\n\nWe are pleased to host a public reception with the artist in attendance on November 22 from 2-4 pm. \nAbout the artist Victoria Sanchez \nArtist Statement: \n“Traces of Becoming” reflects a conscious yet playful return to making — a rekindling of my art/jewellery practice as I learn to be a mother and navigate a journey of healing and acceptance. Much like Parenthood\, my ideal process is rooted in passed-on knowledge\, increasingly shaped by instinct and trust. The handmade mark\, the hammer\, the unrepeatable form — each trace becomes both a decision and a memory: an echo of care\, of intention\, and of the quiet hope that I might get it right. \nArtist Bio: Victoria Sanchez is a jeweller\, visual artist\, and arts administrator currently based in Treaty 7 land — Calgary. a jeweller by training (ACAD 2012)\, she likes to explore the intent of personal adornment\, spontaneity and adaptation\, and most importantly\, making with intention and the evidence of human touch. \nReception: Saturday\, November 22\, 2025 | 2 – 4 pm \nAlberta Craft SPOTLIGHT – Calgary cSPACE – Marda Loop\, 2nd floor\, 1729 – 29 Avenue SW\, Calgary \nThe parking lot and accessible entrance are off 29 Avenue. Street parking is available free of charge around the building. \nThis SPOTLIGHT exhibition runs from November 8 to December 24\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Gallery Reception: Rebus Plates for our Times/Assiettes Rebus pour temps qui Courent
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Reception: Rebus Plates for our Times/Assiettes Rebus pour temps qui Courent\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nAlberta Craft Gallery – Level 2\nApril 11\, 2026\n1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Alberta Craft Council and Alliance Française at cSPACE for an afternoon of art\, ideas\, and community with Rebus Plates for Our Times / Assiettes Rébus pour Les Temps Qui Courent. \nBegin your visit on Level 4 in the RGO Treehouse with a thought-provoking craft talk\, Pictorial Puns: Rebus Plates for Our Times\, presented by craft historian Dr. Jennifer Salahub. This engaging talk explores the rich history of rebus imagery—visual riddles that combine pictures and letters to convey layered meanings—and their evolution from 19th-century French ceramic traditions into contemporary artistic practice. \nFollowing the talk\, head down to the Alberta Craft Gallery on Level 2 for the artist reception\, where you can experience the exhibition firsthand and connect with the work in a welcoming\, social setting. \nRooted in a historical tradition popularized by makers such as the Faïencerie de Gien in France\, rebus plates once conveyed everything from moral lessons to political commentary. This contemporary exhibition revisits and reimagines that form\, offering fresh perspectives on the complexities of our current moment. \nFeaturing work by Montréal-born\, Calgary-based artist and Professor Emerita Mireille Perron—founder of the Laboratory of Feminist Pataphysics—this exhibition reflects a playful yet critical approach to art\, craft\, and social discourse. \nWe’re proud to host this free\, public event at cSPACE. Everyone is welcome to attend and experience the creativity and conversation unfolding within our community. \nThis exhibition is generously supported by Alliance Française. \n\nRSVP Online \n\nSCHEDULE: \n\n\n Craft Talk – 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM: Pictorial Puns: Rebus Plates for Our Times Talk with Dr. Jennifer Salahub\, Craft Historian\, RGO Treehouse 4th floor\, cSPACE\nArtist Reception – 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Alberta Craft Calgary\, 2nd floor\, cSPACE\n\nFree | Everyone Welcome
