Kamloops Art Gallery celebrates 40th anniversary Wade Tomko EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Ω The Kamloops Art Gallery (KAG) is celebrating its 40th anniversary by showcasing the most comprehensive selection of works from its permanent collection to date. The exhibition, Through the Memory Atlas: 40 Years of Collecting, is a collection of diverse works from across the KAG’s history.
“Essentially this project is celebrating our 40th anniversary,” said Charo Neville, the gallery’s curator. The exhibition contains 167 pieces from a variety of mediums including print, photography, sculpting and even video. However, despite being the largest showcase of the KAG’s permanent collection to date, the exhibition contains only a fraction of the gallery’s many pieces, says Neville. “We have four exhibitions a year and we support the
work of living artists and we do temporary exhibitions. But there is rarely an opportunity to do shows completely drawn from our collection,” Neville said. “I can pretty confidently say that this is the most permanent-collection work we have had in one exhibition.”
