Municipality of Colchester Art Show 2009

Recently the Municipality of Colchester held its 22nd annual Art Acquisition show and reception,  co-hosted with the Truro Art Society. The event features various pieces from local artists that reflect the historical development and lifestyle of Colchester County. To expand the County’s art collection, during each show a work of art is selected by a committee. The chosen selection is added to the permanent public collection at the County of Colchester Courthouse and the artist’s biography is added to a book which displays the history of the program.

This year’s winning selection, titled “Her Very First Time Walking in a Cloud; Fog Rolling in� was painted by Wendy Irvine. We are proud to add Wendy’s work to our Municipal art collection. You can view the collection on the ground floor of the County Courthouse located at 1 Church St., Truro.

 

The Municipality's art collection is maintained as a permanent public display of the importance of the cultural community within the County and the province. If you wish to view the past selections, the collection is presently hanging on the main floor of the County Courthouse, 1 Church Street, Truro.
