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.
Presented with PictureNL, we’re shining a spotlight on some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s superb films and filmmakers! Each month we’ll present a different local feature film on our big screen. Gather with friends and film buffs to celebrate home-grown talent.
