Series: Artists in the Vaults - Rory Lambert
Date: Apr 17
2:30 pm
- 3:30 pm
Where: Theatre
In partnership with the Department of Education, through funding provided by Cultural Connections, The Rooms invited members of the arts community to explore the vaults and select items from the collections that resonated with them and their creative practice. The resulting videos are a fascinating look into our collections, the creative process and where inspiration comes from.
This week, join us for a conversation with Comedic Actor, Rory Lambert and a screening of the short video that resulted from his collections interactions.
Cost: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms Members. Get your ticket online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
About the program:
Comedic Actor, Rory Lambert navigates the dark subject matter depicted in David Blackwood’s Sealing Disaster series, connecting Blackwood’s intaglio prints to archival photography and marine artifacts in the collections at The Rooms.

Fishing for Cod
For centuries, fishing for cod has played a vital role in the lives of the peoples of Newfoundland and Labrador. Generations of fishing men, women, and children made use of the land and sea to sustain them and spent their lives “making fish.”
Join us each day for an interpretive guided tour in one of our galleries. From the story of the cod fishery to visiting a current art exhibition to a Family Rainbow Tour, there is something for everyone.
Each tour is approximately 30–40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
