Eugenie Sharp Lee co-founded the Cowansville Art Center with Gerald L. Bruck in 1956 and served as its president until 1968. Her interest in the arts and her knowledge of the Montreal artistic milieu contributed greatly to the Art Center’s renown and to the creation of the Bruck-Lee collection. Like her husband Leopold S. Lee, vice-president of Bruck Mills Limited, she is a key figure in the social and cultural life of Cowansville.
