To mark Canada’s 150th anniversary, the Heine family of British Columbia is presenting a show to celebrate its combined total of 150 years of professional art.

You may not know the Heine name, but if you are Canadian, chances are you have seen their work on Canadian coins and stamps, or in galleries, newspapers, advertising, books or magazines. Creating work that ranges from original watercolour and oil paintings that hang in collections around the world, to illustrations, murals, coin designs and photography, the Heines have been part of the Canadian art scene for more than 60 years, starting with Harry Heine (1928-­‐2004), and followed by daughters Caren and Jennifer, son Mark, and now, granddaughter Sarah.

While Caren and Mark have shown, toured and taught with their father on occasion in the past, “Canadian Legacy” will mark the first time that Harry’s three children will have ever shown together. It will also be the family’s first three-­‐generation show – a singular event in Canadian art.
