September 10, 2019 - September 14, 2019
Amazing Art:
the hooked cushions of Barachois
A stunning exhibition of 242cushions covered in hooked-rug artistry is coming to PEI. These cushions have been contributed by artisans from all over North America, even the UK and the United Arab Emirates. They are a project to celebrate the upcoming 200th anniversary of the church in Grand-Barachois, New Brunswick, and the display is a feature of the 2019 World Acadian Congress being held in NB and PEI.
The show is sponsored by PEI’s Island Matters rug-hooking group. It’s a kaleidoscope of creative colour.
See these cushions on the pews of the Kirk of St. James, on Pownal Street in Charlottetown — Tuesday to Saturday, September 10th to 14th, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm (till 7:00 pm on Friday).
Admission is just $5 at-the-door.
