Arts Sutton again leads the way with exhibiting the best artists of the Eastern Townships and beyond by hosting another must-see event featuring the artwork of Mary Bogden and Ted Yudelson. Both artists have been involved in the creative proces for years and the chance to have the two artists appearing together is a wonderful chance to explore some modern multi-disciplinary masters.

The two artists address the issue of personal evolution in their own unique way through their encounter with the creative process. Within the moments of incidental illuminations that occur along the way, each discovers hope for metamorphosis, leading to transformation and ultimately, transcendence.
The work involves the recycling, recovery, manipulation and alteration of "found" objects and demonstrates the pursuit of reinvention of self, of an approach to life or a way of being. It addresses the shaping of the self through the creation of art, both on a personal and collective level. The work looks at inner struggles and seeks a better understanding of self and its place in our society. It portrays a quest for healing...a way to undo the past or, at least, to understand the present and invent a better future.

Sutton, Quebec is one of our favorite villages near Lac Brome because of her quaint charm and pretty layout. Located at the junction of 239 and the 215 highways it can be reached on your way to Cowansville or Knowlton and is a short one hour out of Montreal. The art gallery and local boutiques, coffee shops and great restaurants in Sutton are the ideal afternoon visit and the skiing at Mont Sutton is the Eastern Townships best kept secret.
The Sutton Gallery is located at Academy Road in Sutton, Quebec. Telephone (450)538-2563 for more information. Arts Sutton Website
