Modern Canadian Artists at Riverdale Hub

Our collaboration with Riverdale Hub for our summer Community Arts Space project was a great success. Their venue offered a perfect setting for showcasing clay works created by ten emerging artists, as well as a sereis of free clay workshops for the community. It was a pleasure working with their professional and supportive team throughout the process. 

Working with David on my solo exhibition “Come Butterfly! It’s Late” was such a valuable experience to me as an artist. It is one thing to be juried into lots of exhibitions. It is another thing entirely to be given the opportunity to work with a curator to mount a solo exhibition. I learned that “less is more” in the artist talk department and that having David (and his years of experience in commercial galleries) as my accomplice at the reception made the exhibition a success. David gave me a wonderful, enthusiastic introduction which spurred on excitement and sales. I know there was a lot of behind-the-scenes support from Hub staff during the month-long exhibition: promotion on the website, email campaign, social media, contacting previous Hub clients, grant applications. I am thankful for this wonderful experience!

Thank you so much for inviting me to Saturday’s opening. It was beautiful to see the artworks and be at the Hub again.

I had my first solo show at Riverdale Hub Gallery, and I couldn’t have been in better hands. Their professionalism, experience and knowledge helped ensure the show was a success. David Reed, the curator, was always available to answer questions and offer advice, and the show helped me advance my career as an emerging artist.

As an emerging artist, I had a wonderful experience working with Riverdale and specifically with the amazing curator, David Reed. They were super open to me sharing my art/ story on an issue important to the Iranian community. Everyone at the gallery worked really hard to make the show happen and I am truly grateful for the opportunity.
