This is a short review of the exhibit at the St. Lawrence Market
Gallery. I was feeling kind of pressured to get this post out, since the exhibit was going to close in April, but now it appears the exhibit has been extended until June 22. In addition, it turns out that Friday, admission is half price (and free for post-secondary students with valid ID on Thursdays). Admission for adults is $8, which definitely feels a bit steep, given that for the longest time admission was free. In fact, as I was getting ready to enter, two seniors came up, found they had to pay and immediately turned around and left.
Whether you decide the exhibit is worth $8 is going to be fairly subjective. I thought a few pieces were pretty nice, but many were only slightly above the level of what a talented amateur could do. Sadly, the Rita Letendre piece was shown so that the sun was really glaring on it, and I couldn't get a decent shot at all. Here are a few other pieces that stood out.
