My Corner of the World: Canada -- On NOW in Ontario!

On July 14, the MCOTW: Canada exhibit opened at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum in Almonte, Ontario -- not far from Ottawa,

There are forty pieces in this section of the two-part My Corner of the World exhibit -- and all of them are made by Canadian artists from coast to coast.

Western Canada is well represented by these artists:


Janet Scruggs (AB then, B.C. now)
Looking Down

Jaynie Himsl, SK
Poplar Point

Margaret Blank, AB
It's Still About the Sky

Marie McEachern, AB
Downtown

Paula Jolly, SK
The Road Home

Terry Aske, B.C.
Inside the Tipi

Mardell Rampton, B.C.
Beaches #1

But that's not all there is to see in this unique venue!  While MCOTW: Canada is showing there through September 22, at the same time visitors can enjoy the Museum's permanent exhibit, Fabric of a Small Town, and a retrospective of the creations of Noreen Young, Canadian puppeteer, that's sure to delight young and old.

Enjoy!

P.S. For the Curious:  Yes, there is a Mississippi River and associated Valley in Canada!  You can learn more about it HERE and HERE. 😊
