Jim Holyoak is a Nelson-based artist with a national and international career. The Kootenay Gallery of Art in Castlegar is fortunate to welcome Holyoak in an exhibition called Vestigial Trail that will run from June 23rd until August 20th. This exhibition will feature works collected during Holyoak’s travels, as well as new works reflecting the shapes of the monstrous today as it relates to our lives in the Kootenays.
Holyoak’s residency wraps up on July 8 and the next day, July 9 at 11 am, Jim will talk with curator Maggie Shirley about his art, his residency and much more.
All events for this exhibition and residency are free to Kootenay Gallery members or by donation for non-members. The Kootenay Gallery is located at 120 Heritage Way, Castlegar. Our hours of operation are Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm .
