Part of Our Heritage by Gillian Dykeman, 2014

The Soley Legacy Project is a multidisciplinary outdoor arts event on the Bay of Fundy on August 21 - 22, 2021, which looks to honour the work and activities of Red Clay Farm and its creator, Tom Young. Tom was a longtime supporter of Struts Gallery and the regional arts community and we are honoured to make a small contribution to the creative activity he helped foster at Red Clay.
