At the Winnipeg Art Gallery
From the MSA website:
“The Manitoba Society of Artists was established in 1902 originally as an organization to recognize the merits of Manitoba’s
outstanding artists. In 1925, the society was re-organized and in 1926 the first annual exhibition was held in the Richardson Brothers Gallery on Main Street in Winnipeg. Since then, except for a few years, the Society has sponsored an annual open juried exhibition.
Today, the purpose of the Society is to promote and encourage Manitoba’s professional, visual artists. Members of the Society exhibit together, enjoy social events and participate in educational ventures, such as lectures, slide presentations and workshops. However, the important event of each year is the Provincial Annual Open Juried Competition and Exhibition, which allows both amateur and professional artists an equal opportunity to participate in a major exhibition.
The Manitoba Society of Artists was founded in 1902 and in 1926 the first Annual Exhibition was held in the Richardson Bros. Gallery on Main Street in Winnipeg. Since that time, except for a few years, the Society has sponsored an annual exhibition.
In 1992 the Manitoba Society of Artists hosted their 60th Anniversary Juried exhibition. This celebration was held at the Winnipeg Art Gallery. In 2002 the MSA celebrated its 100th anniversary with an exhibition of work by current members, a commemorative banquet and an art history conference with a focus on Manitoba art. Also, in conjunction, the Winnipeg Art Gallery hosted an exhibition of historical work by MSA members, acknowledging the major contribution of the MSA in the arts community and in the formation of the WAG.
Next year, the show will be held at the WAG, in celebration of the MSA 110th anniversary, and the Centenary of the WAG.”
Leif, great shots of the conference. I would like to have a copy of the video of my speach. do I get it from you? Is there a cost ?
I did not take any video at the conference, only stills and audio. I gave all of that to Bonnie, and she said she would pass it on to the speakers.
