Banter, Business & Beer (BBB) at The Fernie Museum | Nov 20, 2024

Description

Join the Fernie Chamber of Commerce as we co-host our next Banter, Business & Beer (BBB) networking event with The Fernie Museum.

“Tom and Marj: A Retrospective is an art show and fundraiser featuring 5 decades of work by artists Tom and Marj Foran. Originally from New Zealand, the couple came to Fernie in 1963, where Tom taught art at Fernie Secondary and Marj gave adult art classes and created as a professional artist.
 
Their work is full of contrasts: Marj focused on large-scale, dramatic landscapes and abstracts, while Tom's watercolors explored intricate details and soft colours. Sadly, Tom passed away in 2004. Marj is now 95 and still lives in Fernie.
 
This retrospective will showcase works by these partners in art and life, many of which have remained unseen for decades.
 
Works will be available for sale by online auction, all proceeds to the Fernie Community Fund and the Fernie and District Historical Society.”

BBB's are an excellent way for our local businesses to showcase their space and what they are up to. All are welcome to learn more about each month's featured business and to network with fellow members of the Fernie business community. And did we mention there is beer?!
As always, the BBBs are free to attend for members. Drop in for a quick chat or stay for the whole duration.
