Opening Reception | March 23, 6 - 8pm

Emily Carr University of Art + Design alumna Emily Neufeld (2014) has a new exhibit at Kelowna's Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art opening this Saturday.Her exhibit,Before Demolition, is especially poignant to the lower mainland: it centers around homes slated for demolition. Emily Neufeld looks for elements of the lives these settings used to have, of the people who once had lives there. Emily Neufeld's art asks questions about the relationship between people and the spaces they occupy, and what lasts after that relationship ends.
