Yesterday: is the name of a spe-

cial exhibit featuring images
of British Columbia’s past
through the eyes of its artists.
The show, presented by the
Douglas College Art Exhibition
Advisory Committee to celebrate
Heritage Month, will be on dis-
play throughout February in the
Douglas College Theatre Foyer
Gallery and two other New
Westminster locations.

Approximately 75 works by
more than 40 artists will go on
display on February 1 at 6 p.m. in
the Theatre Foyer Gallery and
Library Foyer, the Gallery in the
Park ( at Queen’s Park) and the
New Westminster Public Library
Gallery.

An official opening will be held
at 7:30 p.m. in the Theatre Foyer
Gallery. A highlight of the eve-
ning will be an appearance by
Ernie Poignant, a storyteller and
artist who illustrates his works
with constantly changing chalk
drawings.

“We invite the public to attend
the opening," said Helen Rowan,
convener of the presentation.

The theme of local heritage at-
tracted artists from around the
province, primarily from the
Lower Mainland. Artists were in-
vited to submit work in any of
several categories, but were
limited to three pieces per artist,
making for a varied and interest-
ing show.

"The majority of the works are
paintings, in oil, acrylics and
watercolour," said Rowan, "as
well as some photography, and
there’s even one quilt on display.”

The exhibit closes on February
29.

 

 

Profile --
JACQUELINE
GRESKO: EXPERT OF
LOCAL HISTORY

| uae Gresko grew up in
New Westminster and first be-
came interested in the
community's past while working
ona high school project. She is
now a specialist on the area’s
local history but that doesn’t
mean she has a narrow range of
interests.

 

In fact, after finishing high
school she considered studying
astronomy, but didn’t like the
amount of math involved. After
her second year in Arts at the
University of British Columbia
she travelled with her sister for
four months in Europe.
