Starting August 26, the Art Gallert of Southwestern Manitoba in Brandon welcomes three new exhibits.

Expressions of Force
Scott Waters’ latest exhibition Expressions of Force reflects the artist’s experience and fascination with the Canadian military both as a member in the early 90’s and in later years as an Official War Artist.










Thunderbirds
Assembled from recycled computer circuit boards and resembling fossilized creatures, Wally Dion’s Thunderbirds evoke an exploration of contemporary society’s attitude towards consumption.








The Portrait Project
The Brandon, Folk, Music, and Arts Society (BFMAS) extended its exploration and celebration of downtown Brandon with The Portrait Project, which invited community members to have their portraits taken by local photographers Colin Corneau and John Scott.

This project provided an opportunity for Scott and Corneau to interact with the downtown community in a semi-formal setting.  As a result, the portraits of the community members are collaboration between the artists and their subjects.
