Gallery Hours

Tuesday to Saturday, from 12 noon to 5:00 pm and evenings when the Centennial Theater is open.

It is 1983. Joe a middle-aged lesbian meets Iva, a 20-something male transvestite who wants to become a trangender. What beholds this inverted couple is normality, frolic and madness.

As times change, so do our roles as men and women. HESHE is a play that explores the stereotypical role models of both genders while emphasizing the loving, caring nature of human beings which transgresses all differences.

As part of the COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET FESTIVAL, HESHE is to be playwright and director Carlo Alacchi’s first English-language production

Lee and Watson's work have several things in common. The primary similarity lies in their approaches. They are both inspired by the nature near to them; forest for Sheila, lake for Susan. Environmental issues concern them deeply and reaching people with these concerns, while creating aesthetically pleasing work, is important to both.

Through their current creations Lee and Watson convey a sense of loss for the flora and fauna of their surroundings, while expressing their concerns for the fate of the environment, and their love and admiration of nature.

Official opening: May 10 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m

The Foreman Art Gallery organizes every year an exhibition on themes and issues of regional relevance. This year’s Carte Blanche exhibition will present a new site specific installation, Trois coups sous les arbres, inspired by the university’s natural landscape by prominent Québec artist SYLVIE BOUCHARD.

Sylvie Bouchard has exhibited extensively since the early 1980s in both Canada and internationally. She soon became known for her creation of undefined spaces, her use of a fragmented narration and the dreamlike atmosphere that emanates from her work.
