Thanks to the insightfulness of our friend Heather, a minigallery wall of rotating art will be featured in the waiting room of our brand new medical center building. From the picture in the last post you can see that Heather's large new piece that she has just installed beckons from the landing beside the elevators. It fits magically into its new space and can be enjoyed from many levels. I have had the honour of being selected as the first featured artist for the minigallery. This space has been lovingly dedicated by Peter Lombardi to the memory of his wife Rosemary , our good friend and a talented quilt artist. Her family has worked tirelessly this winter in the completion of this modern new facility to benefit our community and a successful opening was held last week. Many thanks to Heather for taking the time and effort necessary to make this space available for artists and the surrounding community.
What a wonderful opportunity for your all! Not sure who the lucky person is who got to be the first featured artist but congratulations.
ReplyDeleteThis centre is obviously a very special lasting memorial to a very special family.
I wonder if anyone has made the connection that people who are active and have hobbies are fitter and healthier and therefore the centre is helping to keep you all healthy in a very positive way.
Long may it last.

It is our own Michele Meredith who has launched the new mini-gallery. She was an obvious choice, given her friendship with Rosemary. (Also because of the fact that she was very understanding about the intricacies of getting this show on the road!) I am hoping to rotate the work every two months, featuring local artists. Much positive feedback from the community. I love the idea of this as a "living memorial".
