Opening Reception: Saturday, September 9th from 4PM-6PM.

Salt Spring Island will witness a unique collaboration between renowned abstract expressionist, Jeff Lederman, and poet, Margaret Sullivan, as they present the 2020 Vision Exhibition at the ArtSpring Gallery. 

The exhibit will showcase twenty large-scale paintings by Lederman, capturing both new developments in his work and some of his timeless classics. Complementing these visual masterpieces will be Sullivan’s poetic works, each crafted in response to Jeff’s paintings, offering attendees a thought-provoking, multi-disciplinary experience.

With very few exceptions, both Jeff and Margaret will be present to engage with attendees, answer questions, and share insights into their creative journey.

Beyond the creative works, the story of Lederman and Sullivan is one of passion, collaboration, and rediscovery. From their early days in Chicago, where their combined creativity produced iconic works, to their individual journeys and eventual reunion, their personal story adds a layer of depth to the exhibit. Today, as a married couple, they continue to inspire and support each other, channeling their creativity into various projects and their initiative to support undiscovered poets.

For those seeking a unique cultural experience, the "2020 Vision Exhibition" is an opportunity to immerse oneself in the world of art and poetry, interact with the creators, and to be part of a story that spans decades.
