Film Screening at the journal Gallery on Saturday, April 26th, 8PM

We would like to invite you to attend a screening of 4 films by artists featured in the Being True exhibition at the journal Gallery.

In celebration of the spirit of Being True, curators Emma Reeves and Aaron Rose offer us another lens through which to experience those who dare to use self expression as a vehicle to provoke through their work. Selected from the exhibition’s 22 contributing artists, Brent Stewart, Ari Marcopoulos, Jeaneen Lund, and Tobin Yelland present 4 unique films that commemorate the essence of Being True.

Saturday April 26th, 8pm.
