Dear Colleagues,
The Langley Centennial Museum and National Exhibition Centre is pleased
to offer for circulation an exhibition featuring the works of Legh
Mulhall Kilpin (1855-1919). The exhibition is available from November of
2004 to December 2005.
Born in Great Britain in 1855, Kilpin was almost 50 years old when he
immigrated to Canada in 1906, settling in Montreal. His artistic career
in Canada spans the years 1906 to 1919. Because of his experience as an
art teacher, he was employed by the Westmount schools in that capacity,
while pursuing his career as a professional artist in Montreal. His work
was represented in the important annual exhibitions of the day, the
Spring Exhibition of the Art Association of Montreal (now the Montreal
Museum of Fine Arts) and the annual exhibition of the Royal Canadian
Academy.
Since 1989, the Langley Centennial Museum has received an important
collection of works by this artist, a gift of the artist’s
grand-daughter (as many family descendants settled in British Columbia).
The collection has been researched by art historians at the University
of Victoria. The exhibition is accompanied by a well-researched and
fully illustrated exhibition catalogue.
The following URL provides a slide presentation on the exhibition, as
well as the technical information.
http://www.langleymuseum.org/kilpin.html
A website (in English only at this time) on the artist and his work is
also available at:
http://www.langleymuseum.org/kilpin/
We invite you to consider hosting this exhibition in your museum and to
express your interest in a booking as soon as possible. We look forward
to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
For more information, please contact me at:

Dear Cultural Partners;
I am writing you in hope you may provide Boundary Museum in
Grand
Forks a letter of support stating the value of culture and heritage in
our society. As of November 30th, the Mountain View Doukhobor
Museum
is set to close its doors and its artifacts sold if the Grand Forks
City Council in British Columbia does not take steps to protect this
heritage site, the last of its kind in North America. Town council is
under the impression that the preservation of heritage and culture
does not make for sound economic sense and that the preservation
of
such landmarks has little or no social value.
The Doukhobor's came to Canada in 1899 to escape persecution
from the
Russian Czar after they refused to take up arms for the Russian
monarchy. They settled in the Canadian Prairies with the
assistance
of the Quakers and writer Leo Tolstoy. Today they still live their
lives as staunch pacifists and campaign for peace initiatives. It is
our hope that this cultural heritage site will be preserved for the
benefit of all human beings. In this time of global uncertainty, it is
important that the ideas of peace and equality be acknowledged as
vital for our economic and social development. Please take a few
minutes to help preserve this heritage site and help us build a
stronger community voice for the promotion and preservation of
peace
and culture; the building blocks for a better future.
For more information on the Doukhobor culture and the Boundary
Museum
please go to:
http://www.city.grandforks.bc.ca/museum
Thank you for your consideration and time.
Yours sincerely,
William Adams, BA, PBD
Curator/Director

To show your support for the Mountain View Duokhobor Museum,
we
welcome letters either by fax, e-mail or post, preferably no later
than October 15, 2003.
Again, many thanks!
