The event will include presentations on the two subjects being recognized in 2019: 1) Anna Templeton who was a pioneer in the province's cottage craft industry (under Exceptional People from the Past category). 2) Red Indian Lake is noteworthy as one of the last major areas of settlement for the Beothuk before their extinction and as a place of subsequent lumbering and mining (under Unique Places category).

An advance peek of our new exhibition Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works with visiting curator Pan Wendt.
Most recently presented at the National Gallery of Canada, Erica Rutherford: Her Lives and Works surveys the fascinating and multifaceted career of Erica Rutherford (b. Edinburgh, 1923 – d. Charlottetown, 2008), the first Prince Edward Island artist to be featured at the prestigious Venice Biennale.
Rutherford’s work explores themes of persona and gender, home and landscape, and her life was shaped by the search for identity and community. The exhibition includes over 100 works, accompanied by memorabilia and photographs. The exhibition opens to the public on November 21, 2025.
