HOURS // 10AM – 4PM, Tuesday to Friday & 12PM – 4PM on Saturdays
Tributaries explores the power and presence of water — past, present, and future. This interdisciplinary exhibit draws on local and regional experiences with hydropower, watersheds, water bodies, dams, and water flows — from Almonte to Maniwaki — incorporating historical elements related to immigrant labour and the wool industry. The exhibit features Emily Rose Michaud’s living tapestries, cyanotype drawings, maps, and paintings, layered with the sounds of water, Gaelic folk song, social and political speech, and music from Esmerine’s atmospheric melodies.
