A public reception for Melancholia will take place at 8:00 p.m.

Curated by Andria Hickey, Hot Wax brings together a survey of contemporary Canadian artists working in encaustic painting and wax. Melancholia, the first project in The Rooms Provincial Art Gallery�s "Space-Based" series, features installations by Annette Manning which explore the interaction of human neurons with anti-depressant drugs.

Artists from both exhibitions will be in attendance and available for interviews.

Hot Wax and Melancholia will be on display at The Rooms from October 12, 2007 through January 6, 2008.
