Opening Reception: Thursday November 6th at 7PM
“Celebration” is tribute to Lois Etherington Betteridge CM, RCA and recognition of her lifetime dedication to the arts. It is also a birthday party. Birthday parties are celebrations and “Celebration” is an incredible birthday party. Among the guests are some of the finest metal artists creating in Canada today The result is an extraordinary exhibition of metal art that has not occurred in Canada for a very long time.
It is my pleasure to be hosting “Celebration” in honour of Lois’ eightieth birthday. It would be easy to turn this statement into a litany of Lois’ awards and achievements during her long and productive career as one of the 20th century’s most illustrious metal artists. Suffice it to say the achievements are extraordinary and the awards are numerous. These alone would certainly have provided ample reason for hosting an exhibition however this exhibition is not merely a tribute to excellence but a testament to an incredible woman. She is a woman who, as an artist, has impacted on the lives of many artists nationally and internationally.
The artists participating in this exhibition represent some of the finest talents in Canada today. Their work is the personification of imagination, innovation and creative excellence. They hail from all over Canada and each has a personal link with Lois. Many of them participated in the exhibition “Tribute” that took place in The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in 2000. Their commitment to participate is further testament to an incredible woman.
I am honoured to be hosting “Celebration”There is nothing I can add other than:
“Happy Birthday Lois”

New blog post: “Celebration” http://www.jonathons.ca/gallery/2008/11/celebration/
I want to express my gratitude to you for your enthusiasm, graciousness and generosity. It was a true celebration and an amazing gallery event.
I can't thankyou enough for not only hosting the exhibition, but for all the 'above and beyond' details and courtesies that you extended to the participating artists.
The Delta Hotel and the Hospitality Rooms you booked were a gathering zone that we took great advantage of. The local restaurants and the market fed us well. And of course Nash Jewellers have not only a wonderful store, but an amazing history.
Thankyou Jonothan and Brian.
Great gallery, great spirit!
