Portraits in the Streets - Cupids 400
Monday, June 14th - Friday, October 1st

Cupids 400 and the National Portrait Gallery of Canada

In celebration of the 400th anniversary of Canada’s first English settlement, the Portrait Gallery of Canada, a program of Library and Archives Canada, is proud to bring Portraits in the Street to Atlantic Canada for the first time.
This outdoor installation—presented in collaboration with Cupids 400 Inc.—features framed reproductions of works from the national portrait collection, brought together around the theme of new beginnings and first contacts.
The portraits tell the stories of known individuals, such as Thomas D’Arcy McGee, Demasduit, George Cartwright and Grey Owl, as well as everyday citizens, whose lives and actions have shaped this country, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, over the past four centuries.

Portraits in the Street: Cupids 400  will be on display in Cupids, Newfoundland from June 15 to October 1, 2010.
