Lecture
Join Billy Gauthier for a talk and tour of his exhibition, Beyond Bone. Gauthier is a renowned sculptor of Inuit and Metis ancestry whose inspiration comes directly from an intimate connection with the land and culture of his home in North West River, Labrador. His sculptures are characterized by attention to detail and ability to illustrate stories that advocate for the protection of the environment and traditional Inuit practices. Many of the works in this exhibition are on loan from private collections across the country and will be seen together for the first time! This unique opportunity will conclude with a tour of the exhibition where Gauthier will share personal stories about key works and the inspirations behind them.
Events & Programs
Being Present: The Architecture of The Rooms
The Rooms is a space where architecture and history meet, inspired by traditional fishing rooms that once brought communities together. Its design reflects the province’s stories—anchored in place, open to change—with each wing symbolically facing land, people, and sea.
Natural materials and bold colors evoke Newfoundland and Labrador’s landscape and spirit. Light, reflection, and shifting perspectives make the building feel alive, adapting with time and weather. This is more than a building—it’s a gathering place for memory, creativity, and connection.
