Artist Talk with Taryn Goodwin | The Shape of Care

ARTIST TALK WITH TARYN GOODWIN

The Comox Valley Art Gallery will host a special artist talk with Taryn Goodwin on Saturday, August 16, from 1 - 3pm, inviting the community into a powerful conversation about art, care, and collective connection.

Goodwin, a local neurodivergent and disabled social practice artist, is known for creating immersive and relational work that places care at the center. Through slowness, rest, adaptability, and deep listening, Goodwin’s work challenges conventional art-making methods. Their current exhibition, 'The Shape of Care', transforms the gallery space into a living, responsive environment shaped by community participation and collaboration.

The talk will be conversational in nature, offering visitors a chance to learn more about the practice behind 'The Shape of Care', and to reflect on how care can take shape in our own lives and communities.

All are welcome. Admission is free, and accessibility supports will be available.
