Richelle Forsey Art & Photography
I am thrilled and honoured to have had my work selected for the third biennial, Salt Spring National Art Prize (SSNAP) finalists exhibition. Considering the sheer number of submissions the jury (cheyanne turions, Sandra Meigs, and David Balzer) reviewed, I am also extremely humbled.
The SSNAP finalists works will be unveiled at the opening gala on Sept. 21, and the award winners will be announced on Oct. 21.
My work Gesture of Homage is in complimenting colour company at Gallery 44 in the/our annual members’ exhibition – 365 – the member-run exhibition that brings together an incredible collection of work created by Gallery 44 members in the past year.
The exhibition runs from Friday, July 12, 2019 to Saturday, July 27, 2019.

I am pleased, and late to announce that two exhibitions I co-curated, and designed with the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation (IICSI) happen(ed) this month!
Douglas R. Ewart – Crepuscule, a mixed media installation at Laurier’s Robert Langen Art Gallery, opened on August 27, and runs to October 5. And as part of the Guelph Jazz Festival and Colloquium, Crepuscule @10C, with performances by Douglas R. Ewart, vocalist Rita Warford and Kathryn Ladano (bass clarinet) happened Sept 13-16, at Ten Carden in Guelph, Ontario! It was a busy month!
Douglas R. Ewart was the IICSI’s Improviser-in-Residence in 2016, and held the community improvisation event, Crepuscule in Guelph’s Arboretum, as the pinnacle of his residency. The Crepuscule exhibitions and events this month, were a showcase of his DIY instruments and sonic tops he also made during his residency (he was a busy guy!) Both exhibitions also feature(d) photographs I took at Crepuscule, and used the display devices I made (with the help of my Dad, Mike Forsey), for the DIY instruments and sonic tops.
