Members' Access: Faye HeavyShield

Friday, August 15, 5 pm - 9 pm

Join us for exclusive Members’ Access on Friday, August 15, 2025 to mark the opening of Faye HeavyShield.

Faye Heavyshield, recipient of the 2021 Gershon Iskowitz Prize at the AGO, has for more than three decades created powerful installations and sculptures, characterized by repeating forms and motifs, including spirals, circles, grids, and lines. 

For her first solo exhibition at the AGO, Heavyshield will present several works, including a re-staging of her acclaimed 1995–96 multimedia installation Venus as Torpedo.

Members always see it first! Simply show your digital Membership card to enter the gallery and at the exhibition entrance to see the show.

For requests for Verbal Description, American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and/or live captioning for online and onsite programming, please provide three weeks notice in advance of the event date. The AGO will make every effort to provide accommodation for requests made with less than three weeks notice. Please note that automated captioning is available for all online programs. For onsite visits, the AGO offers these supports for an accessible visit. Please contact us to make a request for these or other accessibility accommodations.
