	If the trend continues, fall will be warm and beautiful at the Musée des beaux-arts de Sherbrooke! Two new exhibitions with a landscape theme, particularly appropriate for the Eastern Townships, will open this October.

Interpreted by Maurice Cullen and His Circle and reinvented by young artist Melissa Doherty, landscape art remains current and a number of variations on the theme will be on exhibit until January 2011.
