Lest We Forget, an art show and sale featuring the works of Kelly McNeil and Terry McNutt, will run in the main gallery from Nov. 3 to 17.

On display will be paintings that demonstrate aspects of war- such as portraits of veterans and cadets, of naval ships and airforce aircrafts, and more. As well, there will be memorabilia on exhibit including a uniform and a hat.

"We're getting older as a nation, and so I guess what we're trying to do is perpetuate some of the history of Canada," said McNutt, a war veteran himself.

McNeil said as soon as word got out about the show, she was commissioned to paint two portraits of retiring legion members- and the works will hang in the Brampton legion after the art show concludes.

"For each piece at the show, there will be a write-up or a story to go with it," McNeil said, to make the art more meaningful.

There will also be a reduced price adjustment for veterans wishing to purchase a piece of art.

The artists are hoping to raise some public awareness on the profound sacrifices veterans have made.

The show runs Nov. 3 to 17 with a reception running Nov. 11 from 6 to 9 p.m. with a special reading by Marnie Richards, and members of the Lorne Scots corps in attendance.
