" ac 'lion show Goderich artist designs poster for Blyth Festival BLYTH - Goderich artist, Gwen Kiar, commissioned by the Blyth Festival to design the Blyth Festi- val season poster unveiled her origi- nal full colour poster at her art stu- dio, The Gallery In the Garden at 19 Victoria St. N in Goderich on Fri- day, April 14. The poster is inspired by Massey Ferguson agricultural posters from the turn of the century. Famous Massey harvesting machinery of the 1980's are featured in the illustra- tions (Sharp's Hay Rake and Hay Binder). Special thanks to McGavin Farm Equipment of Walton who is the generous sponsor of this beauti- ful poster. Artist Gwen Kiar grew up in Cambridge and received her com- mercial art training in Brantford. Her work has been exhibited in group showings in Toronto, Guelph, and Waterloo with solo ex- hibits featured at her Goderich gal- lery, The Country Gallery in Pais- ley, the mt Arts Co in Bayfield, Christmas Country Fair in Saltford, and at the Blyth Centre for the Arts. Since,1966, she has taught art classes for children and adults for a variety of organizations including many Conestoga College courses in Goderich this year. Since moving to Goderich in 1973, her commer- cial art designs have been used by many organizations throughout Hu- ron County. Some special projects Gwen has ¶ orked on include the Huron County Historical Atlas, de- signs for Goderich Little Theatre. plays, designs for two parks located at Lions Harbour Park and Cam - 1 bridge Street Community Centre Park and Organiser of the 1975 Fes- tival of the Arts. "With our 15th anniversary sea- son, we're pleased to celebrate our rich agricultural heritage that is de- picted in our poster this year" says Jane Gardner of the Blyth Festival. "When we began discussing possi- ble designs for the poster last fall, I was impressed with Gwen's knowl- edge and appreciation of local histo- ry. After combing through dozens of books, photographs and libraries, we discovered the 1972 Massey - Ferguson 125th anniversary publi- cation which illustrates many of the Massey advertisements since its be- ginnings in 1847. We decided only then what our poster's theme would be. It was months later I learned that Dan Needles, author of our opening play this season, Perils of Persephone is a direct descendent of Daniel Massey who founded the Massey empire - in fact Dan is named after his great -great grandfa- ther. It has long been a custom of the Blyth Festival to promote the work of regional artists, as does the Blyth Festival Art Gallery. Last season a painting of St. Marys artist, Mark Fletcher was featured on the 1988 season poster:The Blyth Festival Box Office has on sale now many posters from previous years as well as the 1989 season poster by Gwen Kiar. Tickets are now on sale at the Blyth Festival Box Office for all plays featured this summer at Blyth Memorial Hall.
