Meet our Artist-in-Residence at the next First Friday Art Trail

The Caetani Centre would like to welcome back Joanne Salé as one of our artists-in-residence in July.

During her residency, Joanne will be working in the Jüül Studio creating cyanotypes, a photographic printing process that produces a cyan-blue image.

“I will create some experimental multi-panel pieces with changing imagery during the exposure, hopefully creating ghost images. I will also be working on some cyanotypes that combine photographic and found materials, and the early stages of work on a lino print block,” says Joanne.

The public can meet with Joanne and learn the process of developing cyanotypes in the Caetani Courtyard at the next First Friday Art Trail on July 4th from noon to 4 p.m.

Joanne earned her BFA from UBC-Okanagan in 2005, where she worked in sculpture, drawing, etching, and painting. 

Joanne has had solo exhibitions at a number of art galleries in BC, and has been included in group exhibitions throughout the province. 

Joanne, along with three other artists, formed Crossings Collective, an eco-art collective that was active for 3 years.

Since 2008, Joanne has completed a number of short and long-term residencies in BC.

Located in the East Hill neighbourhood of Vernon on Pleasant Valley Road, the Caetani Centre is a regular participant in the First Friday Art Trail, which is a free event that sees participating artists open their studios/galleries on the first Friday of every month. 

The Caetani studio artists and artists-in-residence are regular participants in the First Friday Art Trail. 

In addition, the Centre’s heritage house museum and art gallery, currently featuring a selection of paintings from Sveva Caetani’s Recapitulation Series, will be open during the next First Friday event.

Admission to the museum and gallery is by donation.
