| This Artist’s
Road Trip is an international experience as we travel north to
the renowned Vancouver Art Gallery. Local artist and veteran
tour guide Trish Harding is excited to share with you a
magnificent exhibit featuring the works of B.C.'s favorite
artist Emily Carr, the dominant figure in British Columbian art
in the early twentieth century and her connection with the
"Group of Seven," a legendary Canadian group of painters who
literally put Canada on the world map in the early twentieth
century. The exhibit "Emily Carr and the Group of Seven"
includes works from the Vancouver Art Gallery's collection and
private loans, with key works by Carr and members of the
legendary Group of Seven (Who is this group? Join us and learn
about them!) Under Trish’s guidance, you will also enjoy other
fine exhibits currently on show at the Gallery. We will leave
