“Launch of exhibit by artist Georgette Bourgeois at Assumption Gallery”
The launch of an exhibit of the latest works by artist Georgette Bourgeois will be held Thursday, May 6, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Assumption Gallery at 770 Main Street. Titled “Memories of the Petitcodiac and Moncton”, this first-time exhibit runs from May 4 through June 28.
With this exhibit, the Assumption Gallery provides visitors the opportunity to explore the unique world of this talented Acadian artist, whose numerous works have been displayed in France, Africa and the United States as well as throughout Acadia and the rest of Canada.
Exploring the multiple facets of Acadia through her art, Ms. Bourgeois used her childhood memories to inspire her latest series of works. “As a child, I lived in Moncton and played on the banks of the Petitcodiac,” she explains. “My childhood memories came rushing back with every stroke of my brush.”
