Please join Lois Crawford for afternoon tea and a special opportunity to welcome visitors and view her exhibition as part of AGB’s Community Generator series.

Celebrating over five decades of artistic practice, this exhibition traces the studio history of Lois Crawford, an enduring and influential presence within the Art Gallery of Burlington and the broader cultural life of the city. As both artist and writer, Crawford has contributed richly to Burlington’s creative community, shaping its visual and literary landscape.

Bringing together works in pastel, watercolour, printmaking, and oil, the exhibition reflects a lifelong dedication to observation, experimentation, and place. Influenced by the French Impressionists, the Group of Seven, and American abstraction, Crawford’s work bridges tradition and personal expression, grounded in both plein air practice and studio exploration.  

This exhibition offers a rare and intimate view into a sustained creative life, honouring Crawford’s lasting impact on the artistic fabric of Burlington.  

Afternoon Tea is generously sponsored by LaSalle Park Retirement Community.
