Opening Reception: Saturday, January 31 - 2-4pm
Artist Talk: Saturday, March 7 - 1pm
The Durham Art Gallery invites you to an artist talk by nicholas x bent on Saturday, March 7 at 1pm.
The photographer is not only a skilled artist but an engaging speaker and we are delighted to offer gallery goers a glimpse into his process and ideas that give life to his work. nicholas x bent will speak about the themes of our current exhibition, marginalia and dive into some of his photographic techniques that utilize intentional camera movement (icm) that have created striking images akin to charcoal drawings.
marginalia is a photographic exhibition of what’s written in the margins, on the peripheries of our social and environmental narratives. The margins hold possibility and space for alternatives while also reminding us what is neglected in the context of relations of power and normativity.

Grey Areas & Winter Eclectics
November 29 - January 18
The quiet calm felt while watching the sun set,
the wary awe when a storm makes the sky grow dark,
the lonely peace looking out into billowing snowfall -
these moments capture the powerful enormity of nature, calling for us to respect its inevitability and consider our scale; tiny in relation to the world.
An eclectic and beautiful assortment of paintings, drawings, and sculpture - all smaller and affordable works by 19 artists from Grey/Bruce.
This exhibition fundraiser invites you to support both artists and the Gallery this winter.
