Niagara-on-the-Lake artist Ron Clavier is set to showcase his solo exhibit at the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre in April. The show titled 'Coming of Age,' will run in the Joyner Gallery from April 2 to 28, 2024. The exhibit challenges the conventional notion of "coming of age," typically tied to legal adulthood based on age. The artist encourages viewers to appreciate the continuous process of personal growth, regardless of age.

The public is warmly welcomed to the opening reception on Sunday, April 7, 2024, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to personally engage with the artist, savour the artwork, and connect with fellow art appreciators over refreshments and nibbles. Ron will offer remarks around 2:30 pm. This event is generously supported by Château des Charmes, providing an assortment of fine wines.
