Kay Parley Artist Talk part Two
Wednesday, June 27, 2018
Inside the Civic Museum series presents An Evening with Kay Parley
Wednesday, June 27, 7 pm
Civic Museum of Regina 1231 Broad Street
Seating is Limited
FREE EventKay Parley began drawing before the age of four, but it wasn’t until high school that she took any formal type of training. Although she studied to be a commercial artist, her love of the fieldstone homes and buildings from her childhood home in Moffat called her.
With a nudge from her father, who thought they deserved to be preserved, she painted her first one in 1941. When the community of Moffat, south of Wolseley, planned an anniversary celebration, she embarked on her celebrated series of paintings. She also began writing a community history, They Cast a Long Shadow: The History of Moffat, Saskatchewan, which inspired sketches of the stone buildings to illustrate the book. She continued sketching stone buildings from all over the province.

Long neglected, this significant Collegiate Gothic campus is undergoing a comprehensive five-year rehabilitation that will result in a complete renewal, including its historic interior spaces. This talk will cover all aspects of the project including the work completed to date, and that anticipated over the next three years.
