Celebrating the legacy of Isabel Bader

When one of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s most prominent supporters, the late Isabel Bader, LLD 카지노 게임 컬렉션07, used to visit the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s campus, taking a break for afternoon tea was always a tradition.

So what better way to celebrate what would have been her 97th birthday on Nov. 1 than with an afternoon tea party in three countries? Celebrations are taking place in Milwaukee, Wis., (where she spent the later years of her life) and at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts in Kingston and at Bader College in England 카지노 게임 컬렉션 two Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s locations loved by Isabel and made possible by Bader family카지노 게임 컬렉션s generosity.

카지노 게임 컬렉션Isabel loved tea, so an afternoon tea is a wonderful way to celebrate the impact she continues to have on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and the performing arts across Canada,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Gordon E. Smith, interim director of the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. 

Isabel, who passed away in 2022, and her late husband, Alfred, BSc'45, BA'46, Msc'47, LLD'86, and the family카지노 게임 컬렉션s charitable foundation Bader Philanthropies, Inc., transformed the university through their generosity. 

The $72-million Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts was funded mainly by the Bader family and Bader Philanthropies, Inc. and opened in 2014 to architectural and cultural acclaim.

카지노 게임 컬렉션I love when an artist who hasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t played here walks onto the stage in the Concert Hall and they say, 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is absolutely amazing.카지노 게임 컬렉션 Word gets around and we're now well known in the performing arts world,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Smith. 카지노 게임 컬렉션The Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts is an inspiring world-class venue that the university and the wider community should be proud of. The last time I spoke to Isabel, she continued to be excited and proud of the Centre카지노 게임 컬렉션s reputation.카지노 게임 컬렉션

Isabel had always been involved in education and the arts.

She taught for 28 years at a girls카지노 게임 컬렉션 school in Bexhill-on-Sea in England where she co-founded the costume collection that is now at the . She was particularly fond of making costumes for the school카지노 게임 컬렉션s productions. As a teacher who was passionate about theatre and music, she saw firsthand how the right tools and programs can help students.

That passion to help students extended to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.

Many people in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community are familiar with the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, Bader College, and the (comprised of more than 500 works of art, including several paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn). 

However, her impact goes beyond those three high-profile endeavours.

She funded the Collection of Canadian Dress at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, which provides a greater understanding of social and economic history through fashion items from the late 1700s to 1970s. Isabel also funded the Bader Chair in Art Conservation and the Isabel Bader Fellowship and Graduate Internship in Textile Conservation and Research (to advance research in the conservation and interpretation of historical dress and textiles).

카지노 게임 컬렉션We have experts conducting and sharing new research on the care of those collections. We attract national and international professionals and through that fellowship, Isabel brought international recognition to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s for the research work we do here,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Alicia Boutilier, Chief Curator/Curator of Canadian Historical Art at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre.  

Isabel funded many student awards and bursaries in music, drama, and art conservation. Together, with Bader Philanthropies, Inc., she also created competitions for piano, cello, and violin to help emerging classical musicians across Canada by giving them a platform to gain national exposure and boost their careers. 

Her love of music and children inspired her to support Sistema Kingston, a free after-school music program that inspires elementary school students from disadvantaged backgrounds to teach teamwork, build personal persistence, and foster creativity. 

Later in her life, she promoted initiatives by supporting Indigenous arts programs such as the Ka카지노 게임 컬렉션tarohkwi Festival of Indigenous Arts at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in 2019. Through the Bader Philanthropies, Inc. Foundation, she helped create the Curatorship in Indigenous Arts and Culture at Agnes. The Agnes is the only university-museum in this country to have such a position.

Isabel passed away on Aug. 28, 2022, in Milwaukee, Wis., and her legacy will never be forgotten.
