Women of the St. Lawrence

Join Anne-Marie Bouchard, guest curator of River of Dreams: Impressionism on the St. Lawrence, for a fascinating curatorial talk about the women artists who were active in Quebec at the turn of the 20th century including Helen McNicoll, Henrietta Mabel May, Edith Watson, Regina Seiden, Kathleen Moir Morris, Ethel Seath and others. Bouchard will explore the pivotal role these artists played in shaping the artistic movements of their time as life and culture in Quebec was rapidly changing.
