LRAC Membership Show
This year’s show is particularly meaningful as we celebrate not one, but two significant milestones in our community.
The first is our first annual membership show in this new gallery, a space that represents growth, collaboration and an even greater commitment to showcasing creativity in all its forms.
The second is the 65th Anniversary of the Alex Robertson Public Library– an institution that has nurtured minds, inspired imaginations, and helped shape the cultural fabric of La Ronge for over 6 decades.
In honour of these celebrations, we invited our members to respond to words… a single word, a poem, a phrase or a passage from a novel, newspaper, an ad or anything with words as a spark for their visual expression
Upcoming Exhibit
East and West: The Bridging of Cultures and Art
Beginning March 1st, 2023
‘Creating Bridges: East and West’ emerged as a series of paintings in 2014 through 2018 and features ten to fifteen pieces that reflect the bridging of cultures, done in mixed media on canvas with coins, metallic leaf and rich textural additions. The theme of the show was a way of sharing the story of diversity of peoples and cultures in our community as a result of immigration – crossing borders to a new place, a new community and new way of life.
Past Exhibits
