This spring, Eltuek Arts Centre is honoured to present Miners’ Houses, Glace Bay by Group of Seven icon, Lawren Harris—on view in Gallery 203 from May 1 to June 28, 2025, in honour of the 100th Anniversary of Davis Day.
Painted during the turbulent spring of the 1925 coal miners’ strike, Miners’ Houses, Glace Bay is more than a depiction of place, it is a meditation on the lives forged within it and the forces that shaped them. Stark geometry and frozen ground convey the tension of industrial life, while Harris’s disciplined composition captures a community poised on the brink of resistance, hardship, and transformation. This exhibition marks the painting’s return to the Island for the first time in a century.
Miners’ Houses, Glace Bay, is on loan from the Art Gallery of Ontario. It represents Lawren Harris’ final depiction of an urban industrial scene before his shift to the northern landscapes that would define his later career. Harris was deeply attuned to the social realities of his time, and this painting remains one of the most poignant examples of his engagement with working-class life.
