DESCRIPTION:This lecture is now full. To be added to the waiting list\, ple
 ase email聽rsvp.libraries [at] mcgill.ca. Thank you.\n\nLecture given by聽Gw
 endolyn Owens\, Director\, 9I制作厂免费 Visual Arts Collection\n\nArt at 9I制作厂免费 
 has a long history. From 19th century portraits of James 9I制作厂免费 and other 
 benefactors\, to large鈥搒cale embroideries presented on behalf of Alexandra
 \, the Queen Consort and wife of Edward VII of Great Britain\, to a sculpt
 ure by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney unveiled in 1931\, and a major collecti
 on of Canadian paintings given in the 1960s\, art has been present at McGi
 ll almost from the day it was founded.\n\nThis lecture will centre on the 
 highlights of the collection鈥檚 history: the unique objects that are found 
 in corridors and classrooms\, offices\, lobbies\, and in our new Visual St
 orage Gallery and the people (such as Group of Seven member Arthur Lismer)
  who had a hand in shaping the collection. Now numbering more than 3000 wo
 rks of art\, the collection is\, in some cases\, better known to scholars 
 than to our own community who pass the objects\, often without 鈥渟eeing鈥� th
 e art or knowing the unique histories. Much of the art has come through do
 nations\, often made by bequest\, as alumni and friends have often seen th
 eir art collection as their legacy\; something that will go on beyond thei
 r lifetime to continually enrich campus life.\n\nPresented by the Friends 
 of the 9I制作厂免费 Library in collaboration with the Visual Arts Collection & R
