Eat This! Drink That!

Come along to Government Street and make Emily Carr's home in Victoria a destination. She was born there. She lived there until her late teens and again in her 20s. She taught art classes at her dining room table. Her paintings capture the spirit of the west coast, its forests, its shorelines, and even the dynamics of trees moving in the wind. Emily Carr paintings today can fetch over $3 million and are sought by museums and collectors worldwide. Do read her books, and consider touring and taking an art class at this wonderful place in Canadian history.
