Laura Kenney, Live!

The Art Gallery of Northumberland held the grand opening of their latest exhibition “Judy” by Laura Kenney, featuring a wonderful series of hooked works of art.

The display is a fantastic and inspiring series about issues important to the main character, Judy - covering topics like climate change, women’s issues, Nova Scotia, etc.  Olinda Casimiro, Executive Director of the Gallery hosted the opening event, and introduced Michael Maynard, Board Chair, as well as Cobourg Mayor, Lucas Cleveland.  Then Laura Kenney took the “stage” and told us about herself, her alter ego, Judy, and much more!  We’ll feature more on Laura’s talk in a subsequent post.

The event was very well attended - standing room only!  A few folks even dressed in black/red boots, just like their hero Judy!**

Here are some photos of folks enjoying the show! Thank you to everyone who came out to help make this such a success. (And thanks to Brenda Ashton for several of these snaps.)
