The Alex Dufresne Gallery at 107 Lansdowne Street in Callander, is opening an exhibition this Saturday, September 16th featuring the work of Bruce Cull.
Cull is an award-winning artist from Northern Ontario, living near Earlton in the Timiskaming District. He lives on 200 acres and his studio was once a granary for cattle.
Entitled “Connection & Responses,” the exhibit “reminds us that we are participant in, and intimately connected to the physical world we inhabit,” the gallery explained.
“Although I live in a more remote, rural setting,” Cull says, “I feel a deep sense of connection to my global community. I believe in the power of the zeitgeist and that through it, we can initiate change.”
“We begin our lives connecting to our parents, our siblings and gradually extending those relationships outward to a greater world of friends, co-workers and others whom we encounter on this journey,” Cull detailed.

“Most of all, we reach for mutually nourishing intimacy and this connection of love brings us hope and strength,” said Cull. “All of these connections have nourished my creativity, my work and my sense of being part of the divine imagination.”
The show opens Saturday with an opening reception from 2 to 4 p.m. There will be light refreshments and admission is free. Admission to the museum is also free.
The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Cull’s exhibit runs until November 4th.
