We are excited to announce the exhibition, “Feeling Further” by @imvioletdrake in the rOGUE Gallery here at Eastern Edge!! ✨

The opening reception is from 6-8pm on Friday, November 8th, and the exhibition will be on display until December 14th.

"Feeling Further" is an exhibition of prints, poetry, and sculpture that explores metamorphosis and magical realism through a rural transsexual narrative. Using abstracted self portraiture, found material, and environmental photography, this work dreams of an alternative world where trans liberation and climate justice are conceptualized beyond systems of oppression.

Violet Drake gratefully acknowledge the financial support of @nl.arts.council

We are excited to announce our upcoming Main Gallery exhibition, “AtaKatigejut (Intertwined)” featuring work by Billy Gauthier, Juliette Onalik, Stephanie Brant, and Shannon Case, as part of the annual @spiritsongfestival l!! ✨

The opening reception is from 6-8pm on Friday, November 8th, and the exhibition will be on display until December 14th.

Eastern Edge is pleased to partner with @firstlightnl to present this group exhibition in celebration of Spirit Song Festival 2024. "AtaKatigejut (Intertwined)" celebrates the interconnections between land, people, and wildlife.

Spirit Song Festival is a celebration of Indigenous Arts and Culture that has been running annually in St. John’s since 2013. Spirit Song has now grown into a multi-day event which boasts world class performances, traditional and contemporary knowledge sharing events as well as artist in residence series.

The festival is enjoyed by Indigenous and non-Indigenous audiences alike. Spirit Song aims to support and promote Indigenous artists, strengthen our sense of community, as well as provide an opportunity for the greater public to experience the incredible work created by Indigenous artists from across Canada.
