NS ART GALLERY--UPCOMING EVENTS ----------------------------------------------------------------- About Face? About Face? opens at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia June 29 and runs until Sept. 8. About Face? reflects the mandate of the Education Gallery to present visitors with opportunities to broaden their contact and understanding of art so that their experience in other parts of the AGNS will be enriched. This exhibition is designed to serve as a companion to the exhibition Face Value Nova Scotian Portraiture on display in the adjacent gallery. Portraits are often the first kind of art viewers find accessible, primarily because the subject matter begins with something that is familiar - the face. For viewers this familiarity offers comfort and enough curiosity to explore further. About Face? Gives visitors the chance to examine aspects of portraits in an interactive way. Visitors can manipulate materials, examine objects, and contemplate ideas. Organized by the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, the exhibition is sponsored by Access Cable Television Limited and Halifax Cable. -30- Contact: Ann Marie McKinnon 902-424-8935 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Arts Delight - A Summer School in the Arts for Children "Arts Delight" offers a unique, creative, and fun-filled experience for children.
