Opening tonight at Gallery Atsui (602 East Hastings), is the Evolution of Inspiration Show. Show opening is 8pm – 1am.

From the Gallery Atsui site:

“If history had worked out differently, and Michelangelo had been commissioned to paint a ceiling for a giant Museum of Science, mightn’t he have produced something at least as inspirational as the Sistine Chapel?”  -  Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion

With Dawkins’ questions in mind and coinciding with the bicentennial of Charles Darwin’s birth, as well as November 2009 being the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin’s seminal work On the Origin of Species, Gallery Atsui is thrilled to present an exhibition of art influenced by science, featuring new and original works by:

Sonja Hebert

Suzanne Kay

Helen Eady

Verena Kaminiarz

Mark Mushet

Jesse Gray

Patrick Blaeser

Opening reception: Nov. 6th, 2009. 8pm – 1am.
