In Cyprus, professional artists or serving members with artistic inclinations generated a sizeable production. The artworks in this exhibition are the creation of individuals who travelled as part of the Canadian Armed Forces Civilian Artists Program, a program that opened a door to the expression of individual artistic flair while developing a “documentary” production. Other works are the creation of media experts, photo reporters or illustrators visiting Cyprus. The Canadian War Museum, the Archives and Special Collections, University of Western Ontario, as well as several private lenders are acknowledged for their contribution to the selection of œuvres.
The exhibition runs from July 17 – September 22, 2024 during the museum’s operating hours.
