In 2002, upon her death, Nettie Covey Sharpe donated her collection of antiques and Quebec folk art to the Canadian Museum of Civilization. Through this project, inspired by that donation, we pay a respectful tribute to her.

I would like to mention the artists' commitment to the development of this website, especially that of Léon Bouchard, Michel Fedak, Clémence Lessard, Raymond Massicotte, Fleurette Solomon, Jacqueline Tremblay and Michel Villeneuve.
