Happy Friday! Today we`re sharing the work of Lawren Harris from the KPRDSB Collection, currently on view at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.
The arts and education have long standing ties. By challenging minds in their formative years, encouraged to think abstractly and inspired to seek out altered perspectives, we invest in a vital and innovative future. The AGP was founded upon two strong pillars: contemporary art and arts education. For the past 50 years, we have acted as a connector between artists and audiences, celebrating new ways of thinking, celebrating artistic practice, and opening spaces for conversation and exchange.
Schools, like galleries, are just buildings without the people who animate them. Without the vibrancy of exchange and the hum of creation, they are empty. The Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board has stewarded generations of engaged student bodies, and their legacy resides in our collection storage.
Join us for a Special Reception to celebrate this exhibition and the support of the PCVS Legacy Fund within the Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough on Tuesday, December 3 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm.
