Description
An exhibition to honour the life of Isabel McLaughlin. Her love of art from an early age, her accomplishments in art, and her enormous generosity to the arts, appear tho have come quite naturally from within an extraordinarily talented and benevolent family. Her unique spirit, her energy and dedicated loyalty, have informed, inspired, and sustained the Gallery for all of its thirty-five years. Her contributions to the Gallery's permanent collection and to its programming were significant, and these were made with the intelligence and understanding that came naturally from her as an artist and influential figure in the development of modern Canadian art.
