Out of Purgatory
Peake Street Studios artists to complete each other’s work

Unfinished piece by C. Ann Kittredge NB to be completed by Luke Leunes PE Unfinished piece by C. Ann Kittredge NB to be completed by Luke Leunes PE Out of Purgatory, a process-driven artist challenge whereby unfinished and emotionally abandoned pieces are surrendered and blind-selected by new artists for completion, has been staged two times in the past five years by Charlottetown’s Peake Street Studios Collective. This year the scope of the project has been expanded to include two other artistic communities in Atlantic Canada.

Gallery Connexion in New Brunswick and Eastern Edge Gallery in Newfoundland have partnered with Peake Street for an Atlantic version of Out of Purgatory which will be mounted in the Upper East Gallery of Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown in September.

This project is an exploration of process with each participating artist being both a donor and rescuer of an abandoned work. Incomplete works are freely given so that participating artists can complete them in any way they wish. While engaging in the process, artists are asked to articulate their thoughts on several key aspects of the process.

A total of 36 artists will participate, 12 artists from each centre/collective. Six donor works from each of the participating galleries have been sent to each of the other two locations, where the 12 donor artists are currently completing the works.

Peake Street Studios is located at 47 Peake Street in Charlottetown.
