This weekend marks the annual return of folkies and Yorkies to Mariposa (a.k.a. Orillia), but it also marks the opening of a new exhibit curated by Anna St.Onge that explores fifty years of making music through the records of the Mariposa Folk Foundation and the photographs of the Toronto Telegram. This major exhibit opens tomorrow, Saturday, July 9, 2011, in the Market Gallery located in the South St. Lawrence Market, 95 Front Street East (south-west corner of Front and Jarvis streets). The exhibit is a collaboration between York University Libraries, and the City of Toronto’s Cultural Services Division, and will engage the community that visit the St. Lawrence Market until the exhibit closes on October 15, 2011.
Anna has produced exhibit elements and outreach material of a very high standard using in-house applications and hardware that make this work as economical as it is effective. I congratulate Anna on these significant accomplishments.
