Join us for a fresh-to-the-market line-up of Canadiana and folk art from some of the best collections in the country. The material dates from the 19th and 20th centuries. It features signature pieces from the late Honourable Jim Fleming, Bill and Kristin Kendall, Brian Hutchison and Alba DiCenso, Leigh Moore and the late Wendy Daxon, June and the late David Chambers, and others.
