Current Exhibitions
The Trilateral Print Exchange Exhibition is hosted by SPA, in Japan. Malaspina Printmakers Society from Vancouver, Canada and Grafisch Atelier Utrecht from Utrecht, Holland are the co-hosts. Heather Aston has 8 pieces touring in this exhibition that includes 20 artists from Canada, 20 artists from Holland and 25 artists from Japan.
The Exhibition is held under the theme “Re-Identification”. It is a good opportunity for both the artists and the audience to see personal reflection and re-assessment, that is, to re-identify themselves through the prints created by the artists from the three countries.
