Lise Beaudry, co-founder of Alleyjaunt (one of our city’s most fun summer arts fests) and an artist in her own right, will be kicking off a unique indoor/outdoor exhibition tonight at Harbourfront Centre. Her show, BOLERAMA, focuses on culture and communities surrounding a little egg-shaped trailer called a Boler. Raised in Earlton, a rural Franco-Ontarian community where the Boler was produced in the 1970s, Beaudry sees the annual weekend meet-and-greet Boler conventions in Earlton, Onemee, and other areas of the country as a manifestation of the “art of living.” In addition to photographs from these events displayed inside York Quay Centre, Beaudry will have her own little Boler parked at the centre for the course of the exhibition, which also includes oral histories from various mobile living fanatics. The opening runs tonight (Friday November 10th) from 6pm to 9pm at 235 Queens Quay West. For more info about the show, click here.
