SUMMARY:The Latest Edition: Senior Print Student Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Latest Edition presents print-based artworks created by a selection of senior students and recent graduates from Calgary’s two post-secondary arts universities: Alberta University of the Arts and the University of Calgary. \nThis exhibition showcases 9 emerging artists who use printmaking as a means of questioning and discovery. For each artist\, meaning emerges through process. Initial ideas\, images\, and concepts concerning nuanced themes of self\, interconnection\, and change have transformed slowly through the materiality\, repetition\, and layering that is characteristic of print media–allowing depth of understanding to surface. \nFrom the University of Calgary: Gabrielle Arrizza\, Aidan Dupuis\, Joshua Seguin\, and Míša Štorková. \nFrom Alberta University of the Arts: Leafa Christieson\, Dana Nell Doshewnek\, Kat King\, Naia Lisch\, and Dimitri Smith-Kac. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Artist Talk & Opening Reception with Anna Gaby-Trotz
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Opening Reception to celebrate Baseline by Anna Gaby-Trotz\nAnna Gaby-Trotz will be in attendance\, and will be providing an in-person artist talk during this opening reception to celebrate her exhibition: Baseline. \nLight refreshments will be provided. \nThe Artist Talk will begin at 7pm\, followed by the reception until 9pm. \nThis event is FREE and all are welcome. \n\nAbout the Exhibition:\nShifting baseline syndrome is an acclimatization to one’s surroundings. In 1995\, Daniel Pauly used this term to reference fisheries and the environment. In regards to climate change\, it means that each generation adapts to its current environment and defines a new baseline. As extreme weather\, fires\, floods and droughts become commonplace\, forthcoming generations will know this as the reality and may have little understanding that the world was and could be different. \nThis installation features a collection of images gathered while examining the changing climate through the North West Passage. These waters – situated between Kugluktuk\, Nunavut and Greenland – have a deep history of colonial conquest and now\, once impassable due to ice\, are open to commercial passage\, mining of resources\, and military access.  \nOver a decade has passed since this journey\, and the situation has only worsened. The Arctic is melting twice as fast as anywhere else on the planet\, which has an immense impact on the communities and ecosystems that rely on this land and water. As I travelled through this landscape\, I was struck by the lack of ice.  Days passed\, and the water was still open. Then the first iceberg floated onto the horizon. It was almost the size of our ship. How long did it last before being absorbed into the ocean? Will future generations know a diverse environment with sea and glacial ice? How is the opening up of this once closed passage going to change our world?  \nBaseline is an attempt to shift this narrative: to challenge us to change\, to listen\, to act. \nI would like to acknowledge that the lands depicted in these images are not my home. This land and water belong to the Inuit people of Canada and Greenland. I am grateful to have been welcomed into their homelands and acknowledge the problematic nature of being a settler within this space. Climate change impacts us all\, but not all equally. \nAnna Gaby-Trotz (she/her) is a printmaker and photographer whose work critically explores social issues\, identity\, and the natural environment. With an MFA in Printmaking from The University of Alberta\, her practice centers on the transformative power of art\, particularly in creating inclusive spaces for marginalized communities. Anna has worked on significant community projects\, such as Be Our Ally with Sheatre\, addressing homophobia among rural youth. She also founded The Queer Print Project at The University of Guelph\, where she teaches screen printing and fosters a supportive\, creative environment for queer artists.  \nFrom 2015 to 2021\, Anna served as Technical Director at Open Studio in Toronto\, where she initiated a North/South Printmaking Residency with The West Baffin Cooperative and has overseen numerous creative projects with national and international artists. Anna’s work Baseline was shown at Open Studio in Toronto. Her recent collaboration with Richelle Forsey\, The Landscape is Dead was featured at the CAFKA25 Biennale. Anna co-curated the show Queer Print Project: Body Language at the Art Gallery of Guelph. Her work is in collections including The University of Alberta\, The Edmonton Arts Council and Open Studio. Anna has taught at The University of Alberta\, The Ontario College of Art and Design University and is currently an Assistant Professor in Studio Art at The University of Guelph. \n\nVisitor Information:\nNew to the A/P space? Welcome! \nHere’s a helpful guide to visiting the A/P Gallery\, Studio\, and Events \n  \nHours and Location: \nA/P Main Gallery Hours: Wednesday from 10am – 5pm; Thursday – Saturday from 10am – 5pm (closed Sunday\, Monday\, and Tuesday) \n  \nAccessibility:  \nA/P is located near the 39th Ave. C-Train Station and has free parking stalls located in front of the building\, as well as street parking nearby.  \nThere is an access ramp at the east end of the building (near the Hitch Shop)\, and A/P is equipped with an accessible gender neutral washroom. \nWe do our best to accommodate the needs of our visitors whenever possible. \nWe welcome your questions and are committed to working with our members and guests to have a great visit when you are here! \n\n  \nInclusivity and code of conduct: \nA/P’s cultivates an inclusive and collaborative environment to learn about printmaking\, to create printed works\, and to pursue exciting artistic opportunities. \nA/P operates by a code of conduct with an expectation of promoting dignity and respect to all\, and we prioritize individual and community safety.  Any form discriminatory behaviour\, intimidation\, bullying\, harassment or victimization is not tolerated.

SUMMARY:Adding Hype to Cyanotype!
DESCRIPTION:About the workshop:\nAre you curious about cyanotype and wondering what you can do with this magical medium? \nIn this workshop you will not only learn the basics of preparing\, exposing and developing your own cyanotypes\, but how to take them several steps further through toning\, bleaching\, and multiple exposures. \nDuring the first day of the workshop\, you’ll prepare cyanotype solution before applying it to paper\, and then expose your imagery using both the sun and exposure unit equipment to create several of your own prints. \nThen\, using dye baths and registration strategies for multiple exposures\, you’ll move beyond the quintessential cyanotype blue to achieve rich browns\, reds\, yellows\, and even some colour combinations on the same print! \nParticipants will gain the know-how and confidence to continue their cyanotype journey both at home or in a studio environment. \nWhat you’ll learn: ​​​​\n\nAn overview of the process’s origins and how it works\nPreparing cyanotype solution\nApplying cyanotype solution to paper\nVarious exposure techniques using both photographic negatives and other materials for image-development\nDeveloping the exposed image\nToning exposed cyanotype images to produce different colours\nDouble exposures and considerations for image-registration\n\n\nAbout the instructor:\nTracy Wormsbecker (she/her) is an arts administrator and printmaker living in Mohkinstsis/Calgary. She earned her BFA in printmaking from the University of Calgary\, where she began experimenting with non-digital methods of printing and hasn’t stopped since. \nTracy wears many hats and spends her time maintaining a casual arts practice\, working as the Executive Director of A/P\, chasing after her two adorable children (and more recently\, a new puppy)\, and making artwork when she finds the time. \n\nWorkshop Fee\n$135.00* prices not subject to GST \n*Access to using the A/P studio equipment\, including as a workshop participant\, requires an A/P membership. Annual memberships are $30 and $10 for current students and current recipients of AISH. Membership fees can be applied directly to your workshop registration. \nAdditional Notes: \n\nClass limited to 8 Participants\nAdults 18+ Years Old\n\n\nCode of Conduct:\nTo support an environment which promotes dignity and respect to all\, no form of intimidation\, bullying or harassment will be tolerated.
