The Winnipeg Art Gallery Connection
MSA on WAG
By Pat McCullough
The current block-buster show at the WAG is William Kurelek. And it is absolutely wonderful! We all know his prairie scenes and those paintings are there, but as well a huge selection of his earlier works arising from his depression and subsequent religious conversion. It’s a show you may want to see more than once as there is so much content.
I would recommend joining one of the tours to learn more about his life. Tours of the show will be held at 2 pm on the following dates:
October 9, 16, 23
November 6, 13, 19, 20, 27
December 10, 11
Art for Lunch takes place Wednesdays at 12:10 pm. On Wed. October 19th, there will be a talk on the impact of Kurelek’s Ukrainian heritage on his work. And on November 16th, the chief curator of the show will lead a tour.
Admission to these events is included with gallery admission.
William Kurelek – September 29 – December 31
If anyone is interested in volunteering for the WAG over the course of this year, whether it be helping with kids’ art on the four Family Sundays, assisting school programs, greeting guests, or any other activities, please get in touch with me. We’re always looking for volunteers.
