Coastal Diptychs: The Influence of Visual Arts at Memorial University
What role did Memorial University play in fostering the growth of Newfoundland and Labrador’s arts community during the 1960s and 1970s in St. John’s? How did the creation of the Visual Arts program at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, along with the founding of the Grenfell Art Gallery, contribute to the broader development of visual arts in the province?
Join Grenfell Art Gallery and Memorial University for Dialogue and Debate: Coastal Diptychs: The Influence of Visual Arts at Memorial University, Wednesday, November 19th featuring Kent Jones, founding visual arts faculty member at the Grenfell Campus School of Fine Arts, and Jeff Webb, professor in the Department of History at Memorial University.
