Soul Power Artist Talk with Jan Wade

Join Hamilton-born artist Jan Wade as she presents Jan Wade: Soul Power during our Summer Exhibition Opening Celebration at the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

This exhibition surveys 30 years of Jan’s art creation which includes mixed-media paintings and text works; icon-like sculptural objects heavily embellished with antique buttons, Scrabble tiles, coins, shells, figurines and religious symbols; and a room-wrapping embroidery evocative of African American quilt traditions.

Jan will highlight how her life experiences have shaped all aspects of her art making practice. The talk will begin with a brief introduction to the exhibition with curator Melissa Bennett.
