'You, Me and Maud'
Maud Lewis inspired art, by CALA students & artist Laura Kenney

Exhibit Opening
Friday, October 12th | 7-8 PM
All Welcome!

In learning about Nova Scotian authors and artists, a group of students at Colchester Adult Learning Association (CALA) became inspired by Maud Lewis. Their interest was further piqued when local textile artist Laura Kenney presented art to our Community Essentials class that she was creating, also inspired by Maud Lewis.  

Maud's story and legacy felt very relevant to and over the last year at CALA, some learners have viewed the movie 'Maudie' together, read about Maud and watched documentary pieces, and created art using a variety of media.  In the Spring, CALA learners travelled to the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia (AGNS) to see the incredible Maud Lewis collection there, including her actual former home.

Together with Laura Kenney, some of whose hooked rugs were included from 'Whose Maud?', a show that Laura did with Steven Rhude at Acadia University Art Gallery, CALA learners are pleased to present 'You, Me and Maud'.
