2020: thanks for the dance, it was hell, it was swell, it was fun
Your intrepid #artcriticfromhell offers some thoughts – caustic, candid and hopefully clear – about 2020, and what is in his mind at the commencement of 2021.
Welland: Times Present Times Past
Sandy Fairbairn has been taking photographs of Niagara for over forty years, focusing on the people and places around him. His images of Niagara stretch back to the 1970s, and some of the scenes presented in Welland: Time Present Time Past will be shown in the Rose City for the very first time. I curated this exhibition, and offer some ideas that informed it, and that grew out of it.

Ross Beard’s legacy, as an artist and educator, is still very strong in Welland, and it’s appropriate to talk about his work while doing a writer’s residency, focused on visual arts, in ‘his’ Welland.
