Connie Greger opened her annual exhibit with a reception on Friday Sept 27th at St. Thomas Elgin Public Art Centre. She spent many hours over the past spring and summer, rendering Sparta’s local historic buildings in sketches and paintings. The exhibit, “Historical Architecture Sparta: The Inheritance” was on display in the Studio Gallery from September 28th to 30th.

Connie’s talent, and her on-going pursuit of making community connections and developing her skills were evident in several oils, mostly in her favourite colour palette, and in her detailed building sketches.

Catherine Elliot Shaw, curator at the Western McIntosh Gallery was on hand to introduce the work and to commend Connie’s efforts.  This is the third year that she has donated the proceeds from a show towards community art programming. This year, it will be carried out in collaboration with the English as a Second Language Class offered through the YWCA St. Thomas-Elgin.
