Scugog Arts presents: ‘Landscapes & Dreamscapes’ by Kevin J Harper. This exhibition challenges the established distance between realistic and dreamlike scenarios by incorporating dreamlike works amongst the more realistic nature of Kevin J Harper’s older work. Harper aims to lessen this distance through the relationship between the real and imagined snapshots of the everyday and mundane world we live in. As a mostly self-taught artist, Kevin J Harper finds solace in painting and drawing as it continues to be a central source of play, rejuvenation & transformation for him. 

This exhibition will run from October 11 to November 11, with the artist reception on Oct 18^th from 1-3pm. Meet the artist, enjoy light refreshments and experience Kevin Harper’s work in a bright space full of creative energy!

The Last Showgirl
This captivating tale of resilience and rhinestones from behind the lights of the Vegas Strip, stars Pamela Anderson as Shelly, a seasoned performer who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run. Emotionally floundering, Shelley tries to reconnect with a daughter she hardly knows, which proves just as difficult as losing the only job she has ever had. Bolstered by her best friend Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis), a brash cocktail waitress, Shelley must find her place in a world she shut the (stage) door on for years.

Concessions and cash bar available.

Tickets are only $12 and are available at the Ajax and McLean Community Centres, the Audley Recreation Centre, and online at www.ajax.ca/sfc. For more information, call 905-619-2529, ext. 2787 (ARTS), email us at stfranciscentre@ajax.ca, or visit us online at www.ajax.ca/sfc
