Two Days of Art and Culture

Posted on April 5, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…a little opera and lots of paintings

On Thursday I made my way downtown to listen to a wonderful opera singer, Midori Marsh.

Midori was the winner of the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto 2024 Career Development Award.

After the concert I walked over to the Royal Museum of Ontario but didn’t get beyond the gift shop because you can no longer access the museum via the store. I’m hoping this is temporary.

I could have entered from the main entrance but I wanted to check out the show at WAAC which is a block north of the ROM.

When I arrived at Women’s Art I was greeted by this sandwich board.

The show is wonderful with very large and varied pieces. One year I’ll attempt a large piece so that I can participate in this show.

Today Kevin and I attended the Lambton Kingsway Annual Art Show. Kevin learned that one of the artists that he follows was exhibiting here so he wanted to meet her.

Macro Monday – Close-up at the Quilts Made in Canada Show

…at the ROM

Last week I took a quick walk through the exhibition of quilts from The Quilts Made in Canada show. It wasn’t a very big show and one could easily see all of it in under 10 minutes. Here is a close-up of one of the quilts on display and I posted the full size so that you could see just how tiny the squares really are.

…Royal Ontario Museum

This afternoon I went to a concert that was around the corner from the ROM. Since I’m a member I decided to take a Quick Look at the Ancient Chinese Exhibit. There were lots of wonderful trios of statues, ceramics and zodiac figurines.

RDP Wednesday – Museum

…thanks to the Ragtag community for hosting RDP https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/rdp-wednesday-museum/

I love museums. How could I not, when I have a son who is a curator at the Victoria and Albert in London, England and I am a volunteer at Montgomery’s Inn, one of Toronto’s Historical Museums.

We have have numerous museums in Toronto, the most famous being the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum). My husband and I have been members for years and love taking friends from out of town and in town to the museum as our guests.
