Kathleen Lagasse lit the match. When the finger of blame needs to be cast let there be no doubt where the investigation will lead. Stoking the embers of creativity to an explosive inferno of talent sizzling
across canvas, Lagasse’s infectious passion for art is spreading across the southwest corner of the province like a prairie wildfire. The products of this fervent enthusiasm will be shared with the community on Saturday, June 20 at the Souris School gymnasium at the Timeless Design Art Show and Sale.
The studio’s program has flourished since it opened this time last year. Now, students are coming to Souris from Killarney, Boissevain, Hartney, Brandon and Minnedosa to participate in the classes and
create their own masterpieces. More than 40 painters are at the easel regularly with brushes in hand, ranging from age eight to seventy.
Showcasing the incredible talent right here in southwest Manitoba is the reason for the upcoming show. From newcomers to seasoned artists, the works created on canvas are stunning. Like a proud mother,
Lagasse is excited to share the achievements of her emerging artists with the public. It’s not only a celebration of oil on canvas, but also the dedication and talent of our local emerging artists.
Lagasse is originally from Ninga and lived here in Virden from 1995 to 2001, before eventually settling in Souris. The Timeless Design Art Show and Sale takes place June 20 at the Souris School gymnasium. Net proceeds from the event go to support the Souris & District Food Bank.
More than one hundred pieces will be on display, with some available for purchase. Attendees will have the chance to enter a draw for an original Lagasse painting.
