Heritage Artisans in Action: Metal!



All are welcome to join the Avon River Heritage Society Museum (ARHS) and the Hants County Arts Council (HCAC) in welcoming metal artists G.A. Jank and Steve Veinot for the fifth installment of Heritage Artisan in Action, taking place throughout the ARHS museum in Newport Landing on Sunday July 28th from 10am – 5pm.

G.A Jank can often be found nestled away deep in the heart of Hants County, tucked away amongst the vibrant palette of nature and metal that makes up his sculpture garden and studio.


Jank’s work tends to incorporate reclaimed iron and stone that he has found strewn upon the shores of the Bay of Fundy. Each piece carries a message about the mechanics and the power of nature, where humanity must live in harmony with the things around them. 



Jank’s work is available for viewing by appointment at his gallery in Ashdale, Persona Gallery, and he has a show opening on August 2nd at the Bread Gallery in Brooklyn.

For more on G.A. Jank please visit www.soironic.ca or email gajank@soironic.ca to schedule a studio and gallery visit.


 




Scraps of wood, iron, glass, leather, silverware and other collectibles are brought to life by the imaginations of Steve Veinot and his partner Nikki Allen.



Each piece is constructed from various recycled materials; pieces of our heritage that have been left behind by time have been salvaged and re-imagined into one of a kind whimsical “Pieces of the Past” sculptures.
