Finally!!!! (Update 13)

Hello All,
Finally!!! I have not been able to log into the blog to give an update or post pics. Sorry Jan, i have not been able to get the photos from your exhibition opening up yet... but will!
To all of you out there who saw the Art Gallery's schedule earlier this year, you will remember that Cape Breton Scenes is opening this Friday night (June 23, 2006) at 7:00 pm. The work looks amazing, thanks to the support of Nova Scotia Tourism, Culture and Heritage and new mats and frames. Work was loaned by The Beaton Institute and McConnell Memorial Library to augment the exhibition, which also draws on the Cape Breton University Art Gallery's permanent collection. Cape Breton Scenes pays homage the visual acheivements of Louise Bradley McLennan, Hetty Donne Kimber, and Henrietta Burchell Clarke and celebrates Cape Breton Island landscapes. Lectures are being held in conjunction with the exhibition (which runs until September 1, 2006) by Neil Libbey at the Old Sydney Society headquarters in the Lyceum on June 22 and July 7 at 7:30 pm. The lectures will present aspects of Sydney's history as it relates to the women featured in the exhibition (their relationship to coal interests on the island) and the development of a visual culture in Sydney around the turn of the century.
That's it for now (i'm afraid to write more in case 'blogger' decides to turn against me and not publish this entry). Will write more soon, now that this seems to be up and running again.
