Several of our members have taken part in an event for the Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan called Bay of Quinte Interpreted 2. Working with twelve photographs by eight area photographers, including AQW member Steve Cooper, nineteen local artists have reinterpreted the images in their own styles and mediums.

The reinterpretations will be on display at the John M. Parrott Gallery in Belleveille from July 18 to August 29, 2013.

AQW artists involved in the project are Susan Moshynski, Doris Scott, Christine Pellati, Rachel Comeau, Mandy Bing and Dana Mandeville.

From the BQRAP website:

The Bay of Quinte is one of the most picturesque bodies of water in Lake Ontario. Its shoreline stretches in a Z-shape from Trenton to Bath for almost 100 kilometers. The Bay's watershed is the largest in Southern Ontario, over 18,000 square kilometers and includes lands drained by the Trent, Moira, Salmon and Napanee rivers and a host of smaller tributaries.

 

In 1985, the International Joint Commission (a Canadian – American Great Lakes watch-dog), under the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement, identified the Bay of Quinte as one of 43 Great Lakes Areas of Concern …a pollution hot-spot. The Bay of Quinte Remedial Action Plan and its partners are, successfully, under-taking actions to rehabilitate the Bay.
