Background from Art Gallery of Peterborough media release:
The collection of The Art Gallery of Peterborough began in 1974, the same year it was established as a public gallery, with a gift of historical European and Canadian Paintings from the Peterborough Teacher’s College. The AGP Volunteers Committee initiated the first purchase made by the Art Gallery of Peterborough in 1977 when they raised funds, matched by the Province of Ontario, to purchase a painting by Jack Shadbolt, now included in this exhibition. Also included is a collection of works on permanent loan from Peterborough Collegiate. For many years the PCVS student council raised funds to purchase art. Thanks to their vision, our community is now privileged to enjoy the work of Group of Seven Member’s Casson, Jackson, MacDonald and Harris along side Brigden, Housser and Bieler.
