Author Talk: The Cause of Art
Date: Jun 19
7:00 pm
- 8:00 pm
Where: Theatre
Jeff Webb’s new book shares the story of the curators and artists who built a new art gallery at Memorial University in the 1960s – a gallery that would eventually become a provincial institution and advance access to art in Newfoundland and Labrador.
The gallery was more than a place to hang pictures. It was the site of an awakening of visual culture as part of the Newfoundland Cultural Renaissance of the 1970s. Webb explores the conflict, collaborations and a cast of passionate and strong-willed characters who were part of the early gallery history including Christopher Pratt, Peter Bell, Edythe Goodridge, John Perlin, and many others.
