Adelaide House in Oshawa was the site of one of Canada’s first Abstract art shows. Organised by Painters 11 founder Alexandra Luke and art teacher Dorothy Van Luven, the exhibit by the Art Committee of Adelaide House featured a young protege, Ronald Malcolm Lambert. This weekend Jan 25/26 2019, Lambert returns to the house 70 years later to host a solo show of his works from that initial show.

Arts writer Daniel Farr interviews Lambert about his story and the history of the all women led innovative show at Adelaide House, built for the daughter of Col. Sam McLaughlin, CEO of GM Canada.
