This installation is located in one of the most prominent spaces of the gallery and it is one of a kind. The QUATTLEBAUM FORETICH GALLERY has been producing artful exhibitions since 2002, but this one stands apart from the rest.
The Dyke Bar is a renowned lesbian bar in Vancouver that will be closing its doors for good in the beginning of 2019. This is a momentous occasion for all lesbians and queer women who have spent their time there, but QFG wants to celebrate it with an extraordinary installation that showcases decades worth of memories and images from this important space.
Carrie Mackin, curator at QF Gallery, produces for the Dyke Bar. Join us in celebrating this extraordinary historic installation with her at our first-ever curatorially curated event.
In anticipation of the opening of QUATTLEBAUM FORETICH GALLERY’s inaugural exhibition which will feature Carrie Mackin as the gallery’s new Curatorial Program Director, we would like to invite you to our first-ever Curatorially Curated event on Wednesday, November 8th from 6:00 pm – 10:00 pm. The evening will include a selection of drink pairings and hors d’oeuvres by James Beard award-winning chef and owner of Annex Kitchen Joseph Decuis as well as an opportunity to hear more about Carrie Mackin’s practice as a curator through a short presentation followed by a book signing.
