"Read All Things Consoled" by Elizabeth Hay, and then participate in a tour of the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery Facing North exhibit featuring art by Jean Hay.
Pick up a copy of "All Things Consoled" by Elizabeth at the Sarnia Library; copies will be available beginning March 1, 2022. A book discussion will be held at the Sarnia Library at 2:00 p.m. on April 13, and then will move to the Judith and Norman Alix Art Gallery for a tour of the Facing North exhibition.
"All Things Consoled" is a courageous memoir by Elizabeth Hay. It lays bare the exquisite agony of a family's dynamics--entrenched favouritism, sibling rivalries, grievances that last for decades, genuine admiration, and enduring love. In the end, she reaches a more complete understanding of the most unforgettable characters she will ever know, the vivid giants in her life who were her parents.
In the Facing North exhibition, paintings by regional artist Jean Hay, Elizabeth Hay's mother, are brought together from the permanent collections of the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery and Thames Art Gallery to explore notions of aging, creative drive and ecological responsibility.
