[BCMA Broadcast] Travelling Exhibition 2004-2005

[Roger Boulet]

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.

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.
