ages the viewer to “feel free to put on the red shoes and channel your inner Doro- thy.” Themes are all over the map. For exam- ple, Susan Jephcott, of Vankleek Hill, has fashioned “Destroyed Dreams,” a protest about the treatment of women in general and of Native sex workers in particular. Andrea Maria Coda Di San Grato, of Hud- son, pays tribute to the flyers of the Battle of Britain. Recycling is championed in a creation by Timothy Hunt, of Ottawa, who cob- bled together found metal objects to“cel- ebrate new possibilities for the discarded and mundane.” The exhibit at the gallery located at 160 County Road 10 is open to the public Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The show also includes works by Dody Dines, Ste-Anne-de-Prescott; Bernard Pu- gin Gauthier, St-Eugène; Nancy Green, Ottawa; Eva Hoedeman, Vankleek Hill; Brenda Kennedy, Dunvegan; the late Pe- ter MacElwain, Karen Molson, Laggan; France Poliquin, Alexandria; Nik Schnell, St-Eugène; Elisabeth Skelly, Laggan; Two Barn Owls, Hudson, Susan Valyi, St- Eugène and Mac Williamson, Dunvegan.

Admission is free but visitors are invit- ed to make a donation to the Canadian Mental Health Association. “It is a per- sonal thing,” says Lesniak, relating that she hopes to raise awareness about mental health issues. One of the more colourful pieces in the display is Lesniak’s “Yellow Brick Road,” as in the route Dorothy took in the Wizard of Oz. The circular installation refers to the pur- suit of happiness. The artist’s notes read: “This path leads nowhere and is disinte- grating. When we are getting nowhere, maybe it is time to enjoy the present and in that moment of surrendering, perhaps we will find our heart’s desire.”She encour-
