THE BEE’S KNEES:

DRESSING UP IN 1920S MAPLE RIDGE

September 11 – November 20, 2021 @ The ACT Art Gallery

We are thrilled to announce our first-ever exhibit at The ACT Centre, in downtown Maple Ridge! This fall, we will be featuring “THE BEE’S KNEES: Dressing Up in 1920s Maple Ridge”: an engaging exhibit on 1920’s fashion.

The roaring twenties often conjures images of beaded dresses, glamourous parties and life in the big city… but what was life like in the 1920s Maple Ridge? The Bee’s Knees: Dressing Up in 1920s Maple Ridge will explore the changing social landscape of the period through the lens of fashion. Through the clothing and accessories on display, visitors will learn about the social movements and scandalous trends that make this decade so captivating.
