Don`t miss it: "Legacy: dedications to the next generation, works from the KPRDSB Permanent Loan" is currently on view at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.
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 @cf_greaterptbo Tuesday, December 3 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm!
About the exhibition:
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 @kprschools has stewarded generations of engaged student bodies, and their legacy resides in our collection storage. Canadian art masterpieces by famed artists were collected through the efforts of past student councils, who, through the 1940s and into the 1960s, purchased one painting yearly. Among the artists represented in their collection, you’ll find members of the Group of Seven and their contemporaries.
This exhibition celebrates the prescient minds of the student councils who collected such wonderful artworks and reminds us all of the importance of intergenerational exchange and investment in the minds of the young.

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.

Opening today: Arnold Zageris | Refractions
In our region, we live close to the water. Our towns cluster along the carved land, roads wrapping around lakes, shadowing the river as it flows over rocks and down chutes, bubbling, rippling, and splashing. As it moves across surfaces, it stirs and suspends particles and creates a liquid lens, changing and refracting the light in a stream of persistent yet fleeting compositions.
In this new body of work, Arnold Zageris studies the expressions of water in its many changing states and captures the abstract and the painterly in the waterways of our region.
On view at the Art Gallery of Peterborough until January 5, 2025.
