Using personal narratives Phan’s work collapses the boundary between public and private so that viewers can connect their own lives and experiences to the paintings at an intimate level. \n\n\n\nOnce for A While is a series of oil paintings that explore a Vietnamese family’s awkward attempts at integrating into Canadian life. Using examples from Phan’s own childhood and those of her friends\, Phan’s intention is to capture humorous moments where cultural values have clashed. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nChrystal Phan: Turkey Dinner\, 2021\, oil on canvas\, 48 x 60 in URL:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/event/chrystal-phan-once-for-a-while LOCATION:Vernon Public Art Gallery\, 3228 31st Ave\, Vernon\, V1T2H3\, Canada CATEGORIES:2025,Exhibitions ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vernonpublicartgallery.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Chrystal-Phan-Turkey-Dinner-2-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Vernon Public Art Gallery":MAILTO:marketing@vernonpublicartgallery.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Vancouver:20240831T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Vancouver:20240831T153000 DTSTAMP:20260513T133458 CREATED:20240529T184147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240529T184151Z UID:10000117-1725109200-1725118200@vernonpublicartgallery.com SUMMARY:Family Saturday - August DESCRIPTION:August 31st at 1 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFamily Saturdays takes place on the last Saturday of each month with an art project suitable for little kids and big kids alike.
