Guilded – Opposites Attract

In Guilded – Opposites Attract, dozens of members of the St. Albert’s Potters Guild, Painters Guild, Floral Art Society, Quilters’ Guild and Paper Arts Guild, share their work. A vibrant part of our community, these artists are a wealth of knowledge and skill, an overflowing well of creativity. In their homes and in the studios at St. Albert Place, they commit themselves to the work of art.  

Art making, the physical act of bringing a work into being, is a process of balance. Light, colour, line, texture, weight and shape are blended in infinite arrangements. These art fundamentals are positioned in opposition to one another, sliding scales of light to darkness, hard to soft, opacity to transparency, fine to coarse, warm to cold, abstraction to realism. Artists are asked to wade the unending possibilities, bringing the scales to harmony, or choosing to upend them. 

With a theme of opposites attract, expect a beguiling range of stories, subjects and emotions in this year’s iteration of Guilded. Anything from the microscopic to the intergalactic is applicable, along with everything that exists in between.
