An initiative of the Fondation Rues Principales gives great results. For several months now, we have talked about decorating the empty store windows.Last summer, posters were put up announcing the Bel Canto, the Historical Circuit and the 2008 Duck Festival. Now for the holiday season, winter scenes are up!
A committee was formed, organized its first meeting, and decided: a call would be made to the artists of the village and surrounding areas.
Marie-Andrée Leblond, a well known painter in the region and represented by The Knowlton Gallery, was the first to accept and run.
After three full days of work, you can now see the extent of her work in the windows of the former Tradition grocery store on the way into Knowlton.
What a show! But beware: another surprise on the part of Marie-Andrée awaits you in a few days ...
Gordon Ladd and John V. Fowles will be the next artists who will exhibit their works in various windows on Knowlton road and Lakeside.
With the Knowlton Festival of Lights, decorating the windows give an air of holiday spirit to the village. Celebrate Christmas in our countryside, our way.
If it were not for the volunteers who have hung thousands of lights throughout the village of Knowlton, in the rain and cold, not to mention the generous assistance of city employees and close collaboration of Fondation Rues Principales and the Chamber of Commerce, none of this would have been possible.
For all this generosity, we say thank you on behalf of all !
