Peter Larocque of the New Brunswick Museum spoke about its namesake, John Owens, a Welsh immigrant who built his fortune in shipbuilding and left funds to support education in art and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Former director Gemey Kelly, who led the Owens for 29 years, said the gallery has remained relevant by embracing change. &#8220;It\u2019s not like, come in here and be in an art bubble. You come in here, and you&#8217;re being asked to reflect on ideas and be part of a conversation.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"725c58\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #725c58;\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-1280x1280.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-59193 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-1280x1280.webp 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-1536x1536.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-2048x2048.webp 2048w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/20250528_173839-1320x1320.webp 1320w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Gemey Smith | Photo credit: Clinton Davis<\/sup><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Artist and Mount Allison graduate Jon Sasaki echoed that sentiment. His new exhibition, &#8220;Homage,&#8221; opened the same night. &#8220;There\u2019s something about Sackville that just pulls me back and makes me want to stay here,&#8221; he said. Sasaki&#8217;s show, &#8220;Homage,&#8221; features microbial landscapes grown from samples collected off tools once used by members of the Group of Seven. &#8220;It\u2019s a sincere expression of my lifelong love of the Group of Seven,&#8221; he said during his speech. &#8220;But I also wanted to think about nature in a broader sense &#8211; even in the microscopic.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Looking back and looking deeper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Owens is part of an arts ecosystem that includes other important organizations,\u201d said current director Emily Falvey. \u201cThese galleries and organizations aren&#8217;t just buildings or events. They&#8217;re made of people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Owens has also been one of Mount Allison&#8217;s most visible and impactful means of demonstrating our commitment to decolonization and enhancing diversity and inclusion in our community,\u201d said Mount Allison Vice-President Richard Eisner. \u201cExhibitions like &#8216;Estuaries&#8217; invited reflection on the legacies of colonization and resistance in New Brunswick.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because Owens&#8217; legacy is complicated. As noted by the gallery, his wealth was tied to direct involvement in the trade of 19th-century goods produced by enslaved Africans, including cotton and sugar. This history was explored in the Gallery&#8217;s 2024 exhibition &#8220;Estuaries.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A legacy carried forward<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The evening closed with gratitude for the people behind the gallery\u2019s longevity. As Falvey said: &#8220;You, my friends, are the Owens Art Gallery.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
