1,000 Words
1,000 Words: An Exhibition of Illustration was a group show of work by Nova Scotia artists working in illustration. The exhibition was displayed at Teichert Gallery from November 14 to December 1, 2019.
Participating illustrators attended the 1,000 Words opening reception, held on November 14, 2019, where they discussed their work with the public and signed copies of their books, made available for sale by Woozles, Canada’s oldest children’s bookstore.
A closing children’s storytime event, held on December 1, 2019, featured a storyteller from Woozles as well as author-illustrators Doretta Groenendyk (A Harbour Seal in Halifax; You Make Me Happy; Love You More Than Anything) and Briana Corr Scott (She Dreams of Sable Island), who provided live illustration demos and answered questions about their work.
