Burner Herzog: An Exhibit by Gary Blundell and Victoria Ward

Join us on August 24 for the official opening of BurnerHerzog,  on display at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery until November.   World-renowned local artists Gary Blundell and Victoria Ward return to  Minden to exhibit new work, alongside logging artifacts from the  Museum’s permanent collection.

Gary has exhibited across Canada and in England. He was  artist-in-residence at the Art House…
