July 5 - Aug.13 - The Orange Art Gallery has put a unique spin on how they are celebrating Canada’s 150th. Gallery owner, Ingrid Hollander has a fondness for the Canadian Railroad, which is one of the reasons she was drawn to the 120 year old historic building that now houses the Orange Art Gallery. Almost a year ago she challenged her gallery artists to explore the railroad theme for a special exhibit. Twenty artists accepted the challenge and have created over 50 original works exploring everything from the historical to the modern rails for a five week exhibit called “The Railway Crossing.”
Thursday, July 6th from 6pm to 10pm. Opening NIght with David Miller, from CN Rails Ottawa, honourary guest speaker.
