Yukon Art Society Members’ Exhibition
Water
FOCUS & EDGE GALLERIES, JULY 5 - 27, 2019
Water is a critical resource for all life on earth. It sustains us, conveys us, and inspires us. As Yukoners, many of us live on or near waterways and water sources which define our landscapes and provide for our communities.
However, many clean water sources around the world are in danger. As of April 2019, there are 57 long-term drinking water advisories on First Nations reserves across Canada. In light of this, Yukon Art Society members are reflecting on the value of water in their lives for our Summer 2019 Members' Show. Featured works include painting, drawing, sculpture, textiles, contemporary beadwork, sound art, and more.

YUKON ART SOCIETY
The Yukon Art Society was founded in April of 1970. Not only is it the oldest visual arts organization in the Yukon, but with a membership of around 150 members, it is the largest. The size and longevity of Yukon Art Society can be explained in part by our inclusiveness policy. Any visual artist, at any stage, working in any medium, is welcome to become a member of Yukon Art Society.
