Wild Women in Wilno


And with the completion of our new wilderness gallery, we were pleased to host the Wild Women in Wilno exhibition featuring wilderness art by Joyce Burkholder, Linda Sorensen and Kathy Haycock.
These creative painters paddle, hike and snowshoe into the Ontario wilderness with brushes and easels and return with amazing images.

One of the highlights of our music series was a fabulous performance by alt-roots artist Cara Luft accompanied by Hugh MacMillan from Spirit of the West. Cara is touring with her new CD "The Light Fantastic".
Cara is a founding member of the Juno award winning group The Wailin Jenny's and is now doing her own thang....see her if she's in your town!!!!

We celebrated Tom's birthday with a great performance by Cris Cuddy and Dennis Delorme. Here's artist Linda Sorensen and Terry and Patrice Walsh enjoying the music....and Tom of course, wearing his usual black cap!

Our booklaunch for artist Horst Guillhauman was well attended by area notables such as the Reeve of Madawaska Township, John Hildebrand. Guillhauman's beautiful limited edition book documents his fifty year career as an artist and showcases his artistic career with vivid full page reproductions of his paintings and sketches.
