Convergence returns to the Tom Thomson gallery, Judy Martin's quilt will be part of it.

Sacred Ground

Sacred Ground will be part of Convergence, the all-Ontario exhibition at the Tom Thomson gallery in Owen Sound.  The artist delivered her work on Monday October 6.  She met the curator of the exhibition, Shannon Bingeman and re-connected with curator of education, Heather McLeese.  Ned and Judy Martin travelled to Owen Sound from Manitoulin by way of the Chi Chi Mon Ferry.  It was a beautiful day to be on the water.

The reason Judy and her husband made the trip was because of the postal strike in Canada.  The ferry is running until October 27 this year, so they are going to go back to Owen Sound for the opening.

Convergence opens October 18 with a reception from 2-4 pm.  Judy and Ned will be there.

The exhibition continues until January 17.
