FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NEW LAKE COUNTRY GALLERY EXHIBITION

Exhibition Details:

Title: Lighthouse Keeping

Artists: featuring X40 woman artists

Dates: September 13 to September 28, 2025

Opening Reception: Saturday, September 13th, 1:00pm to 3:00pm

The title Lighthouse Keeping draws its inspiration from Stevie Nicks’ song
The Lighthouse (September 2024). In a recent interview, Nicks reflected on
her surprise at having to write a protest song at this stage in her life.
As Margaret Atwood has written, “A voice is a human gift; it should be
cherished and used. Powerlessness and silence go together.” Her words
remind us that where women’s voices are devalued, progress can falter, and
vigilance remains essential.

The next exhibition at Lake Country Art Gallery is Lighthouse Keeping
and gathers
artists whose work guides and sustains the voices of women in a world where
those voices must still fight to be heard, including Jane Everett, Rose
Braun, Katherine Pickering, Julie Oakes, and Lee Claremont. Some guide us
through the quiet rhythms of beauty, the language of composition, and the
poetry of the everyday. Each work carries its own weight, inviting viewers
to enter freely, linger and wonder. In this way, the exhibition itself
becomes a lighthouse, illuminating paths for reflection, dialogue, and the
ongoing care of women’s voices in the arts.
