Two exhibitions to close at JNAAG in September

Time is running out for you to enjoy a pair of exhibitions at the Judith and Norman Alix Art Gallery (JNAAG) in downtown Sarnia.

Curator Sonya Blazek said both John Hartman: Many Lives Mark This Place, and Nico Williams: Biskaabiiyang / Returning to Ourselves will be closing on Saturday, September 9.

The exhibitions have been visited by over 1,500 guests since opening on May 5, 2023.

Williams is based out of Montreal, and is an Anishinaabe member of Aamjiwnaang First Nation.

Blazek said his exhibition uses the mesmerizing and tactile materiality of beadwork to explore the intricate connections we have with objects, places, and language.

"His intricate sculptures are entirely hand-woven using hundreds of glass beads and can take on abstracted geometric forms or be sparkling renditions of familiar objects," she said.

Hartman's exhibition showcases his portraits series. He combines literature and visual art to celebrate Canada from coast to coast.

The Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery is open Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
