The opening celebration at Mayberry’s flagship Winnipeg gallery (212 McDermot Ave.) is slated for the evening of March 3, in conjunction with First Fridays in the Exchange.
Celebrating Canadian Women Artists will include some 50 paintings offering an evolutionary view of women artists through the decades and generations, beginning in the 1920s and continuing to the present.

Mayberry Fine Art is one of the few private galleries in Canada that can provide this broad view of Canadian women’s significant contribution to the national art scene by assembling this retrospective of historical and contemporary art.
More than half the artworks are available for sale, while the rest are on loan from local collectors for this special exhibition.
From coast to coast to coast, Canada’s acclaimed women artists – historical and contemporary -- hail from every region of the country.
The Mayberry exhibition also includes historical works by Molly Lamb Bobak, Maud Lewis, Prudence Heward, Rita Letendre and Sybil Andrews .
Contemporary artists featured include Meghan Hildebrand, Shuvinai Ashoona, Diana Thorneycroft and Gathie Falk, age 95, a former Winnipegger who is one of Canada’s most acclaimed contemporary artists.
