Opening Exhibition: Jason Carter
A Theatre Network commission with the support of Syncrude
As an Indigenous man from the Little Red River Cree Nation, I gather much inspiration from the stories passed on by elders within my community, stories that have evolved and changed, some documented, some not, but the essence of these stories are passed on through the years.

Theatre Network is excited to announce the opening of the Miller Art Gallery! This new venture for Theatre Network is generously supported by Briana & Jonathan Miller, the namesakes of the gallery. This new space allows us to support even more artists and expand our programming into the visual arts space.
Curated by Jared Tabler, the Peck Visual Arts program is delighted to present its first exhibition, sponsored by Syncrude Canada, artist Jason Carter. In keeping with our values, Jared’s curatorial vision for our program is to celebrate contemporary Canadian
art and artists. Additionally, thanks to the generous support of Syndrude Canada, we are able to share that Jason Carter’s work will be the first in our Murray Permanent Art Collection for Theatre Network.
