This year EBA (Enriched Bread Artists) presents Reality Revisited: a 2020 spin to our annual Open Studio event. For the first time in our 28-year history, we will not be opening our doors for this popular event; this year we plan to bring the studios and artists to our supporters.

Responding to new pandemic realities, we are planning two approaches to connect with the general public. First: a virtual vernissage to launch a collection of online projects bringing studios to viewers, including virtual group exhibitions, interactive 360 studio tours, and live-streamed performances. We are pleased to announce that the virtual vernissage will be produced by Digital Arts Resource Centre (formerly SAW Video). Second: EBA Surprise Art Boxes! Each limited-edition box contains three original artworks donated by EBA artists and gifts from local businesses and sponsors. The boxes sold out in 3 days!

Grant Wilkins in conversation with Petra Halkes: Poetic Constructions
For this poetry project, Grant Wilkins has mined a vocabulary of text from each artist’s body of work. Using this vocabulary as raw material, he has refracted and reflected the artist’s vision into the form of a new and unique poetic object.
