🚛 We got an exciting delivery today!

Several paintings by Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828-1901) have arrived on loan from the Smithsonian American Art Museum, via PACART transportation services.

The paintings travelled from Washington D.C., transported in special art-handling trucks equipped with air ride suspension and temperature controlled cargo spaces. Maintaining a stable environment for artworks, even during transit, is an important aspect of preventative conservation, so every precaution was taken to ensure these works had a smooth journey.

You can see the paintings in person at the exhibition opening for Hidden Blackness: Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828-1901) next Friday, 24 January at 7:00 pm.

Curated by Dr. David Woods, the exhibition also includes works on loan from the New Brunswick Museum, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, and the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, as well as pieces from the private collection of Marilyn Sandford.

A special to PACART for supporting this exhibition.

Benefits: Medical and Dental after six months of service, and self-directed pension contributions and one year of service.
