About
Please join us in the Art Gallery Thursday evening at 7 PM on September 25 for a special behind-the-scenes look at Jerry Evans: Weljesi. Artist Jerry Evans will be in the gallery for an artist tour and discussion of the exhibition. This artist tour will immediately follow the Confederation Centre Arts Mixer event. The tour is free, open to the public, and no advance registration is required.
Jerry Evans, a Master Printer and multi-media artist of Mi’kmaq and settler ancestry, has been making and sharing his art and identity—on paper, skin, leather, and with light—since the 1980s. Through his work and life, Evans continues to seek connection to what was and, critically, to what is.

Confederation Centre of the Arts
Confederation Centre Art Gallery offers a fascinating array of historic and contemporary Canadian visual arts. The collection and programming reflect Canadian identities, and the origin and development of the country.
During your visit, you will see a mix of traditional art forms such as painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, and sculpture, as well as digital works, installations using various technologies, and contemporary interdisciplinary works.
The Gallery has a national mandate to develop appreciation and understanding of Canadian visual arts, presenting an average of 12 exhibitions each year. There are four main exhibition halls on two levels, plus smaller exhibition spaces at the entrance and in the Frederic S. and Ogden Martin Concourse Gallery of the Centre. In addition, a collection of public sculptures can be found on the L.W. (Lou) MacEachern Plaza.
