Thank You, Lee Cripps - Member Statement

CLAUDIA CHENDER « » : I rise today to recognize Lee Cripps, who recently ended their decade-long tenure as curator of the Craig Gallery at Alderney Landing.

Lee has brought an incredible cross-section of artists to the gallery for all of Dartmouth to enjoy. The gallery also hosts local and amateur artists, as well as the Canadian Mental Health Association's Mosaic for Mental Health Art Exhibition & Sale.

Lee was instrumental in creating the ArtCart creativity hub, a community arts studio that provides supplies and teaches art techniques to all ages, including my kids and their friends.

Lee is an artist in their own right and will be taking some well-earned time to focus on their own art practice. Please join me in thanking Lee Cripps for the years of dedication and work that have made the Craig Gallery a destination for the community and visitors to Dartmouth alike.
