The Art of Writing
Galleries located
on the second floor of Leacock House were opened in 2001 following
a sympathetic architectural restoration of the building.
Formerly substantial guest quarters, complete with lakeside
balconies, the galleries have proven ideal in presenting the
national Leacock exhibition Written by Water and the
extensive Photographic Imagination of Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Designed to focus on the cultural landscapes of Lake Simcoe
Country, including the lives and works of writers such as
Montgomery, Timothy Findley, Peter Gzowski, Richard B. Wright,
Mazo de la Roche, Ernest Thompson Seton, the galleries have also
been chosen to launch the Canadian premier of the international
exhibition The Private World of John Steinbeck and the
Leacock Museum organized Canadian exhibit, Peter Gzowski's
Beautiful Words. |
