Please come and celebrate the ‘cutting off’ of a tapestry commissioned for the People’s Place Library.

Artist and ACA member Murray Gibson designed this piece in collaboration with L’Arche Antigonish artists, and has been working on this in the library since it opened in May 2011. As the tapestry was woven the completed sections were rolled under, so while we could follow the progress of the section being worked we could never see the completed sections.

The unveiling will be a surprise and a celebration for all. We encourage you to come out for this wonderful opportunity. L’Arche artists and friends will surely be in attendance and it is not to be missed.
