Although Emily Carr described herself as an isolated little old woman on the edge of nowhere, her work has a universal appeal. With this exhibition, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria will become the premiere destination on Vancouver Island to visit and learn about Emily Carr through her paintings. On the Edge of Nowhere will include a historical survey of Carr's artistic career, featuring pieces in all the media & styles she explored & perfected. It will also focus on Carr's influences & inspirations, such as European modern art, members of the Group of Seven artists, First Nations artists and Carr's spirituality.

Join Biblioasis for the launch of the novel called "delightfully offbeat" by The National Post, a "rewarding look" at motherhood by The Vancouver Sun, and "head and shoulders above many of its peers" by The Georgia Straight. Anakana Schofield's Malarky, the story of an Irish farmwife-turned-sexual-outlaw, is a blackly funny tour-de-force that's earning praise from all across the country.

We're proud to announce that this event is also the final stop on the national tour of Metcalf-Rooke Award-winning novelist Claire Tacon (In the Field, 2011), and poet Jamella Hagen (Kerosene, Nightwood Editions, 2011).
