Friday night saw the gala opening of St. John's newest gallery - A1C Gallery, located in the same creative downtown core as Eastern Edge, St. Michael's, and the Leyton Gallery. A1C (they take their name from the postal code) is the new, artist-run facility emerging from the old Resource Centre for the Arts Visual, with a brand new space solely dedicated to visual art showings and happenings (unlike the old spot at the Hall, which doubled or tripled as a foyer and reception area - having the odd play-goer absently lean up against a painting was ever a concern). The inaugural exhibition is an unjuried show of well over a hundred pieces - great stuff for an event that came together (deliberately) sans curation. Gallery co-ordinator Gordon Laurin did a fab job pulling together such a big night.
