Following the most recent public art installation on the historic Jenss Building, our Niagara Falls National Heritage Area is hosting Women of Niagara: The Portrait Ladies of Polly King this from 2-5 p.m. Saturday at the train station on Depot Street.
This exhibit opening will feature approximately 40 of the portraits featured on the historic Jenss Building. Polly King painted over 450 portraits throughout her life, representing an amazing cross section of Niagara Falls society in the 20th century.
Polly's portraits present an artistic anthropological study of the community of Niagara Falls from the 1920s to the 1990s. At this exhibit opening, visitors can take a closer look at some of the portraits used in the Jenss Building, then ride the Discover Niagara Shuttle to see the Jenss Building in person! Light refreshments will be available.
This exhibit is made possible through the generosity of the King family and the research of Sandra Rutkowski.
