Drury Gallery, continuing until Jan. 6.
Through the centuries, there have been
two very different sides to the special
time of the year when many celebrate
the birth of Christ. This small exhibition
features the two aspects: sacred and
secular, as seen through the eyes of our
artists. Included will be historical paint-
ings of the Madonna and Child, engrav-
ings by Durer, and recent paintings and
prints of a secular nature. Also, Betty
Meyers: The Arctic until Jan. 1. Betty
Meyers is a Canadian artist who main-
tains studios in both Victoria and Sas-
katoon. This exhibition, entitled The
Arctic, will be made up of 12 large oil-on
canvas paintings. The paintings are all
new works and are the result of the
artist's recent extended trip through
Canada’s far north. Her arctic sojourn
took her down the Mackenzie River, to
the DEW line sites and through sec-
tions of the Northwest Passage. 52
