Illuminating Language by internationally exhibited and award-winning artist, Dick Averns, is a survey exhibition, spanning thirty years of text-based art addressing a range of topics including social justice, conflict, natural resources and mental wellness. Averns’ art has been acquired for multiple collections, including by the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery, Department of National Defence, Province of Alberta, City of Calgary, and multiple private collections. The critical value of his work was recognized in 2020 when Dick received the City of Calgary Mayor’s Cultural Leaders Legacy Award for Healing Through the Arts, following a multi-year project addressing community mental wellness.
