Upcoming Exhibitions

Len and Cub
Jan. 9 - Feb. 1, 2025
Leonard "Len" Keith (1891-1950) and Joseph "Cub" Coates (1899-1965) were two young men living in the rural village of Havelock, New Brunskwick, who formed a relationship during the early 20th century. While keeping their attraction for each other hidden, they privately captured their relationship via photographs, producing one of the oldest known surviving photographic records of a same-sex couple in the Maritimes. These remarkable archival images, held at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick, are as important socially and historically as they are unique in the photographic canon of eastern Canada.

Len and Cub is curated by Meredith J. Batt and Dusty Green and organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and the Queer Heritage Initiative of New Brunswick.
