OPENING CELEBRATION + PERFORMANCEJoin us at the Comox Valley Art Gallery at 1pm on April 4, for the opening of 'Pas-à-pas; not intent on arriving', a multidisciplinary meditation on mourning and memory by visual artist SD Holman with pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa.
During the reception on Saturday, SD Holman and Paul Wong will share words and Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa will perform the Goldberg Variations by Johann Sebastian Bach.
This event is an opportunity for the community to engage with our featured artists and experience a live grand piano performance while viewing the exhibition for the first time.
Everyone is welcome, and hospitality will be provided.

NOTES
Attendees will be directed across the street to the Vancouver Island Regional Library (Courtenay) for the initial talks, as gallery spaces will not have the capacity to fit chairs around the installed art.
To compliment the exhibition, the library will also curate a themed display of related library materials.

CVAG is grateful for the special sponsorship that supports making this program possible: The McGrane-Pearson Endowment Fund, held at Vancouver Foundation.
The piano used in this performance is courtesy of Gladys Schmidt.

CVAG admission is barrier-free (no cost). Donations are appreciated and contribute to ongoing community interactive programming.
