The St. Thomas-Elgin Public Art Centre is pleased to present “Inside Out: Portraits from the Permanent Collection”. 

What is a portrait? As the author Richard Brilliant writes, "Making portraits is a response to the natural human tendency to think about oneself, of oneself in relationship to others, and of others in apparent relation to themselves..." Inside Out explores this question by looking at the many varieties of portraiture, ranging from traditional watercolour to the interpretive portraiture.
