In late November, 1984, Second Story Gallery was forced to cancel their 1985 exhibition schedule due to a lack of funds. As a result, five of the artists scheduled to show got together and organized an alternative exhibition. What evolved was a cooperative effort between Suzanne Agopsowicz, Director of Second Story Gallery, Miriam Fabijan, Exhibition Coordinator, and four other Calgary artists - Peter Ackerman, Amy Gogarty, Deborah Bornw-Ridley, and Norman D. White. In order to accomodate all the artists involved, the studio spaces were incorporated with the gallery to enlarge the exhibition area. Each artist has selected her/his own space - hence the title: Separate Spaces. A wide variety of work and varying concerns will be presented.
