Interesting news from Canada that the MSVU Art Gallery in Halifax, connected to Mount Saint Vincent University, opened an exhibition last month dedicated to Edith MacDonald-Brown (1886-1954). Believed to be Canada's first black female artist, Edith was born in Africville, a historic African Nova Scotian enclave in Halifax, and produced many of her paintings throughout her teenage years. The show will run in Halifax until 26th April 2025 and click on the link above to read more about her life and career.
