Tracey-Mae Chambers #hopeandhealing
|
Amidst a year of struggles and bad news, Tracey-Mae Chambers, an indigenous artist from Hamilton, is travelling across Ontario to communicate a powerful message through temporary outdoor installations. Her work explores questions concerning our connection to others and the world around us: “How do we pick up the pieces of our lives? Individually and collectively. How do we heal and stay hopeful?”. On Saturday, July 24th, we have the privilege of hosting Tracey-Mae as she creates a live art installation on the RiverBrink property. Come drop by and watch the artist at work, as we choose to pause, learn and reconnect.
For more information please visit Tracey-Mae's website here Join Us Saturday July 24, 2021 |

Dominic Smith The Last Painting of Sara de Vos, (Sarah Crichton Books, 2016)
In his earlier, award-winning novels, Dominic Smith demonstrated a gift for coaxing the past to life. Now, in The Last Painting of Sara de Vos, he deftly bridges the historical and the contemporary, tracking a collision course between a rare landscape by a female Dutch painter of the golden age, an inheritor of the work in 1950s Manhattan, and a celebrated art historian who painted a forgery of it in her youth.

Patrick Radden Keefe Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty, (Picador, 2021)
The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions—Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis.
