Iron work to be featured at Alberta House

NEWS RELEASE

SAULT AREA ARTS COUNCIL

*************************
Iron work by William Morrison and paintings and photographs by Margaret La Ponsie share the Alberta House galleries during July. “Forged in Iron—Contemporary Iron Work by William Morrison” is in the Olive Craig Gallery. 

Probably best known for his large public works, such as the gate leading into the Ojibwa Cemetery in Brady Park, Morrison is showing smaller works in this exhibit - candle holders, tables, mirrors, lamps and other items for the home.

Paintings and photographs by Rudyard artist Margaret La Ponsie hang in the Alberta House Mini Gallery. Margaret is a world traveler and her paintings reflect both her travels and her EUP base. 

This winter she was in Tanzania, so this exhibit features lions and other wildlife as well as of glaciers from a recent trip to the tip of Chile.

Meet both artists at their reception in Alberta House on Friday, July 7, from 5 to 7 p.m. The exhibit will be in place until July 29.

Alberta House is located just half a block south of the Soo Locks, at 217 Ferris Street, and is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free of charge. 

More information and photos are available in the July “Alberta House News”, a free download on the Sault Area Arts Council website:  www.saultarts.org.
