Home can be a haven or a horror. It can disappear in an instant or be passed down through generations. The concept of home holds different meanings for everyone. Who, what, and where is home? This question opens the student gallery to all interpretations, inviting artists to explore the many facets of home from political, humanitarian, and personal perspectives.

Each year, the lovely residents of Clearwater, MB, home of the yearly “Harvest Moon Festival”, welcome into their community recently graduated students from the University of Manitoba School of Art to create work within the beautiful valley which they call home. It is in and around this valley where artists become inspired not only by the freedom found within the wild prairie, but by the unique history, people and many animals which belong to Clearwater.
In the Valley: Work from the Harvest Moon Society Recent Graduate Residency brings artwork from the past two years of the residency back to the School of Art, where these artists' stories began, and celebrates the work done by the Harvest Moon Society in creating a space for education in the land, history, and nature of Manitoba, as well as a space for artists to thrive. In the Valley showcases the work of Leah Gertzen, Adelle Rawluk and Rae Swan.
About the Residency: The Harvest Moon Society Recent Graduate Residency provides professional knowledge-sharing experiences to graduates from the University of Manitoba School of Art. The residency takes place each summer in Clearwater, MB at the Harvest Moon Learning Centre.
During their time in Clearwater, the Artists in Residence engage in shared learning opportunities with land stewards and regenerative farmers. They work with HMS staff and interact with the community while developing studio-based research and projects involving their surrounding environment, sustainable land practices and community dialogue.
Past exhibitions
Students at the School of Art value the opportunity to both exhibit their work and program the gallery space with an ongoing series of solo and group exhibitions. The learning experience afforded by preparing for and mounting exhibitions is especially important to furthering professional creative practices.
Proposals
Solo, group, and curated shows are all welcome in any medium ranging from painting to performance, audio to animation, and everything in-between, including traditional and expanded practices, and interdisciplinary works. Exhibitions will typically run for one or two weeks, but we welcome proposals for exhibitions, events, performances, and/or happenings for shorter lengths of time.
