Gallery Stratford is hosting a pair of receptions this weekend, offering a chance to meet artists with work on display.
A reception is being held Saturday from 2-4 p.m. for Perception: An Exhibition from Stratford District Secondary School.
The exhibition starts on Saturday and continues until Feb. 18.
Gallery Stratford described the works in a recent newsletter as an "unforgettable exhibition filled with creativity, inspiration, and a celebration of the arts."
Perception will feature a diverse range of artworks from "many of the emerging artists graduating this year from Stratford District Secondary School".
On Sunday, guests will have a chance to see Snow-blind by Sarah Kernohan, during a reception from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m.
Kernohan's exhibition started Jan. 11 and runs until March 31.
Kernohan (she/her) is a visual artist who primarily works in two-dimensional media, building drawings and collage-based works rooted in memory, her experiences of landscape, and her fascination with geological processes and weather-related phenomena, according to the art gallery.
Snow-blind is described as a series of drawings that respond to an experience of landscape that is ambiguous and difficult to visually apprehend on account of atmospheric and light conditions. They are informed by her experiences visiting alpine terrain in northern Scotland and Alberta, where snowpack has been dwindling over the years due to climate change.
