The Walter Phillips Gallery at the Banff Centre will reopen Sept. 26 with an extended exhibition by Calgary artist Rita McKeough that can be viewed by appointment.

McKeough’s exhibition, darkness is as deep as the darkness is, will be on view until Dec. 12. The show was originally scheduled to close May 31. 

Appointments to view the show can be made online starting Sept. 23. Visitors must comply with a Banff bylaw that requires masks in all indoor public spaces to help combat the coronavirus pandemic.

The Banff Centre permanently laid off 284 workers during its six-month closure.

An open letter expressing concerns about the future of the gallery and visual arts residencies circulated in the Canadian arts community during the summer.
