点评:Exploring the Group of Seven brought us to the Alix Art Gallery on an August afternoon. The summer exhibition Homage features the work of Toronto-based artist Jon Sasaki. His oversize photographs of microbial landscapes that grew from bacteria cultures taken from the Group of Seven artists' palettes at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection. This exhibition was teamed with a selection of the Alix's Group of Seven holdings in a gallery exhibit titled Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven. Both were interesting and worth the drive to see! We also enjoyed the Lambton through the Lens photographs taken by local teens.
The building housing the Alix is quite interesting! The facade dates back to the 1890s as the Thom Building, home to a photography business. In 2012, the original building was replaced with a new modern structure to accommodate the art gallery.

阿利克斯所在的建筑非常有趣!其外墙可追溯到 19 世纪 90 年代,当时名为 Thom Building,是一家摄影公司的所在地。2012 年,原建筑被一座新的现代建筑取代,以容纳艺术画廊。
