The First World War had a profound impact on Newfoundland and Labrador. It involved thousands of our people in world-changing events overseas and dramatically altered life at home. Our "Great War" happened in the trenches and on the ocean, in the legislature and in the shops, by firesides and bedsides. This new exhibition shares the thoughts, hopes, fears, and sacrifices of Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who experienced those tumultuous years - through their treasured mementoes, their writings and their memories.
Join us for a conversation with St. John’s visual artist, Kathleen Knowling as she discusses her long career, her connections with feminism, and the local arts community. At the age of 96, Kathleen’s work in the arts has spanned decades. This program includes a question and answer period.
This is a free program but a ticket is required. Please reserve your free ticket online or by calling (709)757-8090.
About the Artist:
Kathleen has an extensive exhibition history and her artworks are part of many public and private collections in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
She holds a BA in History from Barnard College at Columbia University in New York. She also studied at Mount Allison University, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) University, and MUN Extension Arts.
In 1977, Kathleen initiated and organized the life-drawing program Group of 77, which ran for over 30 years. Today, she is part of the Senior Artist Sunday Group and continues with her professional practice.
