GUIDE TO GALLERIES + MUSEUMS ALBERTA BRITISH COLUMBIA WASHINGTON OREGON April - May 2020 preview-art.com Halin de Repentigny, Last Burst of Light, 2019 Photo: Susan Stanley. Courtesy of Madrona Gallery. Dear Readers, Thank you for your continued support of the arts in the Pacific Northwest. For over 30 years, Preview has helped art and museum aficionados connect with artists’ works and featured exhibitions in Alberta, BC, Washington and Oregon. Since it is vital to continue to support the arts during the COVID-19 crisis, we have published our April-May issue online. Galleries and museums have responded to the situation by temporarily closing their doors and postponing events, while our leading visual arts writers have continued to contribute their insightful reviews of exhibitions and programs. We at Preview have done our best to provide accurate information at the time of publishing; however, I strongly suggest you visit venue websites for updated schedules. This issue is an important beacon for the visual arts. We appreciate that no virtual experience can equal a personal visit to a gallery, museum or artist’s studio. But until such visits are again possible, Preview can guide your search for art that inspires you at this time of self-isolation. I should also mention that our magazine functions not only as a gallery guide and cultural advocate in the Pacific Northwest; since 1986, it has been recognized by Library and Archives Canada as “a historical record of art produced in this area. Public and museum libraries collect and retain copies of Preview for their permanent archives.” The arts on both sides of the border need our support now more than ever. Please share this online issue with your friends, family and community.
