I attended the opening of Tradition in Transition on Sunday and am very proud to be included in this prestigious exhibition. Curator Sandra Reford spoke briefly about how the work in the exhibition (that first showed in Alsace France at the 18th Carrefour last September) highlights the sheer expanse of the country that is Canada and the many different points of view that those of us who live here bring to our work, whether heritage, society, or place.  Pictured here are only half of what is on display at the Joshua Creek Heritage Centre until January 6, 2013.  Try to see it if you are in the Toronto or Oakville area during the next six weeks.

Such inspiring, captivating works of art - wish there were such exhibits around me, but since they're not (at least I haven't found any yet), thank you for taking me along. Feel like I ought to offer you gas money.

I was there and it was stunning! Unfortunately, I thought the opening reception was on Saturday, so I was there, with a friend, one day early. The place was empty, so we had a good look.

What an exciting show! Thank you for sharing your images. You've got me trying to figure out how to swing a trip to see the exhibit before it ends. Well...dreaming really. Too close to Christmas and all that.

Is this part of World of Threads? Just wondering...and planning...
