Art on Display

A dual exhibit of local calligraphers and West
Coast contemporary Indian artists will be on
display at Douglas College between March 11 and
March 27.

From A to Z, a calligraphy display, will present
the exciting art of fine lettering, and Contem-
porary West Coast Indian Art will offer a portion
of the Potlatch Arts Ltd. prints and carving
collection.

"These shows are part of our efforts to develop
a high profile for Douglas College in the fine
arts," says exhibition coordinator Sandra Shaw.
"Judging from the works we've already received,
this is a marvelous first step."

Among the many talents featured will be work
from internationally known West Coast Indian
artist Robert Davidson, and Grace Melvin,
calligrapher and former instructor with the
Vancouver School of Art.

Davidson's work can currently be found on
exhibitat the UBC Museum of Anthropology,
and will soon be housed in the National Museum
of Man. Included in the West Coast Indian Art
display will be work from Haida, Kwakiutl,

 

 

West Coast (Nootka), and Coast Salish artists.

The calligraphy exhibit will include authentic
works from 13th and 15th Century monasteries
to augment the illumination of local artists.

Helping arrange the calligraphy exhibit is Judy
Dampier, a member of the Italic and Handwriting
Society of B.C. She says other local artists can
have their work placed in the show by Shaw.

The West Coast Indian art display will also
include works from Susan Point of the Coast
Salish band at Musqueam. and Don Yeoman, Haida
Indian.

"The prints are a modern Indian art form,
incorporating traditional West Coast designs,"
says Douglas College anthropology instructor
Alan McMillan. "Especially innovative in this
field are the West Coast Nootka and Coast Salish
bands."

A feature of this show will be Don Yeoman's
print of Raven and Moon, depicting the story of
how the Raven enticed the Sun and Moon through
trickery to relieve the world from darkness, he
says.

"With the Arts Exhibition committee working,
we may be getting more double shows between
our display room and the foyer," McMillan says.
"It's a good step."

The committee is also arranging a juried show
for the fall featuring local artists' impressions
of the Fraser River. Interested artists are,
again, encouraged to contact Shaw.

The calligraphy display "From A to Z' and the
"Contemporary West Coast Indian Art" show
will run concurrently to March 27, and the
calligraphy display will continue to April 30.

committee contact Sandra Shaw at 524-1578.
