Join us in the Alma Duncan Salon for a special announcement with Alexandra Badzak (OAG Director & CEO) and Joanne Read (Vice President, The Ottawa Hospital) for an exciting new art, health and community initiative.
Firestone Reverb series: Featuring artist Don Kwan
Following our exciting announcement, enjoy a conversation between Alexandra Badzak, Catherine Sinclair (OAG Deputy Director, Chief Curator), Meghan Ho (OAG), and artist Don Kwan on depictions of landscapes, ideas of belonging, and the Firestone Collection of Canadian Art (FCCA).
Don Kwan’s exhibition Landscape, Loss, and Legacy, currently on view at the OAG, is part of the Firestone Reverb series, in which contemporary artists are invited to respond to the FCCA by putting new work into conversation with this well-known collection of historical art.
