Do you want those baskets back? Love Heritage Minutes? Visit Argyle Fine Art this weekend and you’ll find 11 of Canada’s most iconic historical TV-vignettes (plus two newer Minutes) interpreted through the creative mind of Halifax-based artist Christopher Hemsworth as commemorative posters.
First released in 1991, Historica Canada’s Heritage Minutes have since become one of the most recognizable and valuable cultural creations for Canada, both historically and in popular culture. Hemsworth was commissioned to interpret 13 of the Minutes after his illustrated interpretation of the Halifax Explosion Minute went viral on social media.
“It is very rewarding to be a part of the Heritage Minutes. They are more than commercials, they are our history, and it’s amazing to see that nostalgia come back through the artwork.”
— Christopher Hemsworth, Artist
All 13 posters will be displayed at Argyle Fine Art on October 4th during I LOVE LOCAL Halifax’s City Harvest. You’ll also be able to purchase copies signed by the artist.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4TH, 2014 at ARGYLE FINE ART, 12:30pm – 3:30pm. Part of I LOVE LOCAL HALIFAX’s “CITY HARVEST” | 1559 BARRINGTON ST, HALIFAX, NS
