John K. Esler: the art of multiples, prints from 1969-1995

CKG is pleased to announce a solo exhibition showcasing the late John K. Esler’s remarkable inventory of prints from 1969 - 1995 (former instructor).

Additional Events // Guest Speakers and Info Session on Collecting Prints - TBA

John K. Esler (former instructor) first explored printmaking in his home province of Manitoba before moving to Alberta where he became a key innovator of printmaking at both a local and national level. Esler was instrumental in setting up the printmaking departments at both the University of Calgary and AUArts. J.K.’s incredible legacy spans many decades as not only an artist but also as an educator and mentor to generations of printmakers, J.K.’s prints have been largely unseen since his passing in 2001.

In collaboration with his estate, they will be sharing a selection of his serigraphs and etchings with the public and as a special opportunity to collectors.
