It considers how Buddhism has contributed to important developments in contemporary art including the dematerialization of the art object, a phenomenon that radicalized art production and was key to the development of conceptual art and participatory art practices. The exhibition demonstrates the cultural impact of Asia on North America and reflects on an ongoing history of cross-cultural encounter and exchange. In the Present Moment: Buddhism, Contemporary Art, and Social Practice is guest curated by Haema Sivanesan, Director, Leighton Studios and Program Partnerships. This exhibition draws on research undertaken during her tenure as Curator, Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, generously supported by funding from The Robert H. N.

The significance of the relationship between location and autobiographical history has been a significant factor in all his artistic work since 1975. Some works are of a large scale; some of it on canvas, board or copper, utilizing a diversity of mediums and processes ranging from photography and painting to etching and drawing. Parallel to this mainstream activity, he has always produced small-scale work. These intimate and immediate pieces have instigated the approaches used in more definitive works. They are deeply thoughtful considerations of place and space by an artist who continues to contribute greatly to his adopted country both with his work and with his teaching. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f907e37e4da3265beebdef9/225a03a3-ab67-44f4-89ec-0e12084d7d4d/80x60PolarBearFamilyFall.jpeg 2023 Festival Gallery Hop (Copy) - The Carter Ryan Gallery 229 Bear Street (Corner of Bear and Wolf) Saturday October 28, 2023 MEET THE ARTIST JASON CARTER 5 - 7 PM Celebrated Cree Artist Jason Carter will be in the Banff gallery to talk about being an artist ‘outside the lens’ - once a prolific camera person working in Morning Television, Jason uses a different, more cinematic lens in which he creates his crafts.

Through rigorous research and lens-based media, Rasmussen recasts traditional narratives of history and nature through an exploration of the French and Swiss Alps. In "Did You Know Blue Had No Name?," she interrogates the symbolism of “blueness,” revisiting Saussure’s cyanometer, the first ascent of Mont Blanc, and early photographic struggles with blue skies. "The Year Without a Summer" links an 1816 climate anomaly to today’s environmental crises, weaving historical texts, folklore, and travel reflections into a meditation on cultural responses to ecological disruption. In "Nostalgia: A Return to the Alps in Five Vignettes," Rasmussen examines the Alps as symbols of healing and escape, from Romantic ideals to modern wellness tourism, questioning our complex longing for harmony with nature. Together, these works reflect on visibility, memory, and the evolving relationship between humans and mountain environments. This exhibition is organized by The Whyte and curated by Christina Cuthbertson. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f907e37e4da3265beebdef9/8fe000f0-e604-4894-88dd-c0edad5efc5b/sanchez-bison-courtyard25.jpg 2025 Festival Gallery Hop - Bison Courtyard - Murals by Joseph M.

Created in a time of uncertainty, the collection reflects on moments when hope breaks through: a clearing sky, a glow after rain, the stillness that follows a passing storm. Nature, like us, is fragile and ever-changing. The weather can shift in an instant, yet balance always finds its way back. When Hope Breaks Through is a reflection on resilience and light — a quiet reminder to pause, breathe, and notice the strength that exists within the landscape and within ourselves.

This exhibition features her film installation, WINDWARD, in which the island’s striking geological formations, unique climate, and austere beauty are brought to life through portrayals of youth. The presentation also debuts her photographs, collectively entitled Fogo Island Portrait Studio, picturing the island’s young residents.

Bison Legacy: The Artistic Vision of Dwayne Harty celebrates the profound connection between humans and the iconic bison. Dwayne Harty’s expressive works document the bison’s remarkable journey from near extinction to cultural and ecological revival. His art, shaped by years of dedicated study, portrays the bison’s resilience and grandeur across various landscapes, from North American plains to European forests.Bison Legacy honours not only the bison’s resurgence but also the collaborative efforts in conservation and Indigenous cultural restoration. Each piece reflects Harty’s deep respect for these majestic creatures and aims to inspire renewed appreciation for contemporary conservation successes. Capturing the Wild celebrates Carl Clemens Moritz Rungius (1869–1959), a renowned naturalist painter. Born in Germany, Rungius trained at Berlin's Kunstschule and Kunstakademie, specializing in animal anatomy. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1896, he became a prominent illustrator. A 1910 trip to Banff, Canada, sparked his lifelong connection to the Rockies. Rungius’s work, known for its realism and dynamic wildlife scenes, set a new standard in wildlife art. The exhibition highlights his evolution, showcasing his deep understanding of nature and lasting impact on Canadian Rockies art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f907e37e4da3265beebdef9/272535f9-66ee-4819-a055-69063d7eb7ba/BMFBF-slider-2560x1440_24.jpg 2024 Festival Gallery Hop - Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival Banff Centre Banff Centre Mountain Film and Book Festival & World Tour October 26 - November 3, 2024 CREDIT: TBA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f907e37e4da3265beebdef9/ec787548-ad82-4956-aaf0-ddea5445fa14/dwayne-harty-bear24-1.jpg 2024 Festival Gallery Hop - Willock & Sax Gallery 210 Bear Street Wednesday to Monday 10:00 am – 4:00 pm. closed Tuesdays WILDLIFE by DWAYNE HARTY MEET THE ARTIST - Wednesday, October 30, 3 to 4 pm A feature and booksigning during the Banff Mountain Film & Book Festival and in conjunction with the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies exhibition Bison Legacy: The Artistic Vision of Dwayne Harty https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f907e37e4da3265beebdef9/553d0a39-a574-457f-b9f2-9cab4afc3b20/mtn-galleries.JPG 2024 Festival Gallery Hop - Mountain Galleries at the Fairmont Banff 405 Spray Ave Artist’s In Residence During the Festival first visit Benjamin McLaughlin (until October 27) and then Pascale Robinson (October 29 and 30).
