Friday night Gurevich Fine Art launched a brand new art exhibit entitled A Celebration of Women's Art. Owner and curator Howard Gurevich was Michael's guest in studio Friday morning.

The exhibit is in celebration of a wonderful Winnipeg organization called Mentoring Artists for Women's Art—or MAWA for short who are celebrating their 30th Anniversary. For 3 decades MAWA has worked to build bridges in Winnipeg’s celebrated artistic community. Through their mentorship program and events this organization has created a welcoming environment and learning opportunity for so many women. In fact, many of the artists supported by MAWA have become internationally recognized.

Some of these artists represented in this exhibit include Diana Thorneycroft, Aganetha Dyck, Megan Krause, Elise Dawson, Eva Stubbs and Reva Stone. As well as Buffy Sainte- Marie, Carole Freeman and Bette Woodland. There are 19 artists all together. The exhibit will also feature visual artist Caroline Monnet’s multimedia installation Amik(waa) as part of a partnership with Video Pool.

 

A Celebration of Women’s Art opens Friday night at 7:00 PM and will remain on display until September 27th. Gurevich Fine Art is at 62 Albert St.
