The evening ends with a sunset riverbank picnic and then transitions into stargazing as the night falls.

Alex Jacobs-Blum is the RBC Artist in Residence for 2024 with an exhibition In the Shadow of the Eclipse that will engage with the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s permanent collection to explore the intersections of peace, grief, love, and loss, and our responsibilities as we move into the future together.
