SUMMARY:OUR PAINTED HOUSE
DESCRIPTION:Check out Our Painted House at the Gallery! \n\n\n\nThis drop-in activity is inspired by Maud Lewis’ iconic Painted House. Using a variety of materials\, you are invited to create your own artwork shingle to add to the painted house\, an almost-to-scale image of Maud’s home. Inspired by Maud’s keen observation of the world around her\, create something that reflects on these ideas: \n\n\n\n\nWhat do you notice outside your window\, at home\, or in your community?\n\n\n\nWhat are the things that are important to you?\n\n\n\nWhat patterns\, designs\, or images tell a story about your interests?\n\n\n\n\nThis project will run from November 2022 until May 2023 and will bring together hundreds of individual adorned shingles by visitors to the Gallery\, creating a large\, colourful installation-a reimagining of Maud Lewis’ Painted House and our collective communities.

SUMMARY:Creative Minds: Unearthing Colour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Erin Comeau as she walks us through the foraging and discovery practices that help guide her creative process. Emphasizing locally sourced colours\, she believes each paint has an interesting story to tell. \n\n\n\nErin Comeau is a librarian and lifelong learner. Her early fascination with Nova Scotia geology and deep appreciation of nature recently led her to discover the ancient techniques of paint making and in turn\, the history of the planet. Using her kitchen as a lab and the various corners of her house for a studio\, she works mainly with mineral pigments and watercolour paint. Her more recent experiments with botanical inks and lake pigments have further enhanced her local colour palette.

SUMMARY:The Painted House: Conserving the art of Maud Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Maud Lewis is one of Canada’s most renowned folk artists\, one whose story and paintings bring delight to thousands of visitors to Nova Scotia every year. Her art and life have garnered increased media attention over recent decades in part due to a dramatization of her life in film and the high value of her paintings at auction. At the heart of the Maud Lewis collection at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is her Painted House. Maud experimentally embellished almost every surface in her tiny home\, formerly located in Marshalltown\, Nova Scotia\, creating an iconic artwork that was almost lost. \n\n\n\nExtensive conservation continues to be vital in treating her paintings\, the adorned objects inside her home\, and every element of the house itself. The ability to share and present Maud Lewis’s art with the world is the result of this meticulous work. Join three conservators as they discuss their contributions to the preservation of Maud Lewis’s art and legacy. \n\n\n\nLocation: Paul O’Regan Hall\, Halifax Public Library\, 5440 Spring Garden Road\,  \n\n\n\nPanelists include: Craig Dix\, Jennifer Fotheringham\, and Michelle Gallinger. \n\n\n\nThe presentation will be moderated by Shannon Parker\, Laufer Curator of Collections\, and will be followed by a Q+A. \n\n\n\nThis event is free\, with no registration required. \n\n\n\nAbout Creative Minds:\n\n\n\nThe Creative Minds series hosts community leaders and creatives to respond to current events\, exhibitions on view\, or artworks in the Gallery. Through conversation\, music\, poetry\, or movement\, these events aim to provoke new ideas\, explore the unexpected and create more understanding for everyone involved. \n\n\n\nIn partnership with Halifax Public Libraries
