ONGOING
- WINNIPEG: Taras Yuri Snihurowycz combines centuries-old tradition with
the skills mastered in his career as a dentist, to create brilliant, jewel-like
icons reflecting both his love for his homeland of Ukraine and his deep
spirituality. "Gifts: The Icons of Taras Yuri Snihurowycz" is
on view at The Winnipeg Art Gallery through June 4. The public opening
of the show is on Thursday, March 30, at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Snihurowycz refers
to his works as "Ukrainian-Canadian" icons, associating them
with the freedom he found in Canada to explore his spiritual connection
with his homeland where the making and creation of religious objects was
banned for many years. On Wednesday, April 5, at noon, as part of the WAG's
Art for Lunch program, Dr. Snihurowycz will give public talk and tour of
his exhibition. For information call (204) 786-6641.
