BRAVO-Sud is presenting a group show exhibition of francophone visual artists entitled Crossroads.

It's the fourth of a provincial tour,

"Crossroads is a travelling group exhibition which promotes artistic and cultural products from francophone Ontario," says a news release from the group. "Its main goal is related to the creative process and how it affects identity. Twenty-two artists from BRAVO (Bureau des regroupements des artistes visuels de l’Ontario) create work through a fusion of modes of expression traditionally related to fine arts and arts and craft.  

"This exhibition not only targets an understanding of the creative process (the relationship between fine art and arts and craft practices), it also targets an inquiry related to artistic identity. Through personal short videos by the artists, visitors will come to understand the challenge each one faced and comprehend that by embracing opportunities or crossroads to think, to make and to see differently, artists move toward authentic self-expression. This exhibition celebrates the artist’s sense of adventure and an openness to experience the new. The artists in this exhibition become models for those who dare re-invent themselves."

The exhibition in North Bay runs from November 8 to December 21 at the WKP Kennedy Gallery,150, Main St. E.

The opening reception with wine and light snacks will be held at the Gallery November 15 from noon to 4 p. m.

A catalog written in French containing English translations of the artists statements will be sold at $10 a copy.

There are no entrance fees.
