Talk with Pan Wendt, Curator of Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works
📅 Wednesday, November 19, 2025
🕖 7:00 pm

An advance peek of our upcoming exhibition Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works with visiting curator Pan Wendt.

Most recently presented at the National Gallery of Canada, this exhibition surveys the fascinating and multifaceted career of Erica Rutherford (b. Edinburgh, 1923 – d. Charlottetown, 2008), the first Prince Edward Island artist to be featured at the prestigious Venice Biennale.

Rutherford’s work explores themes of persona and gender, home and landscape, and her life was shaped by the search for identity and community. The exhibition features over 100 works, accompanied by memorabilia and photographs.

🎨 The exhibition opens to the public on November 21, 2025.

This is a free program, but tickets are required. 👉 Reserve your free ticket online: https://heyor.ca/9Pgu0P or by calling 709-757-8090.

Congratulations to the wonderful Nina Berkhout for This Bright Dust winning the Ottawa Book Award for English Fiction! 🏆

Here's what the jury has to say:

"This Bright Dust leads the reader through the make-or-break year of 1939 as two families struggle to survive in the prairies amidst crippling poverty and ecological disaster.
Told with infinite tenderness and poetic grace, Nina Berkhout’s prose makes the intimate feel epic. A tale of survival and yearning set against the brutal backdrop of the Great Depression and a looming war, This Bright Dust is an unforgettable novel, a work of historical fiction with strong ties to our fractious present."

"I see this collection of model boats as emblematic of a tipping point. How is memory making changing in this digital age?" 🛶

Out of the museum and into the wild, Katherine Knight’s photographs imagine model boats reconnected to their stories and sites of origin. In this fascinating and highly original book, she teases out the allure of the boat model while also exploring the impulse to collect and the desire to tell stories in material form.
