Helen Marzolf presented her work at Two Rivers Gallery in Prince George on February 8, 2018 as part of the Along a North-South Axis programming.
Referring to her many years of experience at Open Space in Victoria, a multi-disciplinary artist-run centre that presents a broad scope of arts programming, Helen Marzolf asks how ARCs—socio-productive organizations—spark creation, insight, and pleasure in a time of diminishing resources. The talk selectively surveyed the complex demands on arts programming in small and mid-sized communities, touching on who accesses contemporary arts spaces and how; changing types of resources; how locale and place shape curating; and the meaning of risk in creative spaces.
