Prominent Canadian artist, educator and world-traveller, Pat Fairhead has been making pilgrimages to the North for the past twenty years and ventured as close to the Arctic Pole as you can get by ship.

In this solo exhibition North of 70 (September 2–26), Pat Fairhead will share her impressions of heart-breakingly beautiful icebergs, but also receding glaciers and unprecedented expanses of open water, witnessing the global warming.
