Do you have a tattoo? Would you like to share your story behind this special image? The Wellington County Museum and Archives (WCMA) is looking for you.
The WCMA is inviting people of all ages to reveal their inked images and be a part of a unique exhibit experience called My Story, My Tattoo.
“Behind every tattoo is a fascinating story. Help us explore the art of tattooing in Wellington County and share your story and tattoo with us today,” WCMA urges in a press release.
“We are very excited about this upcoming project,” said administrator Janice Hindley. “The exhibit will provide an opportunity for us to continue to celebrate the stories of people in the county and their history.”
Museum staff will be at the Clifford Library on Feb. 27, Drayton Library on March 17 and Elora Library on April 24 to take photographs and document stories. No appointment is necessary; just drop into the library from 2 to 7pm. Museum drop-in dates include: March 3 and April 7 between 1 and 4pm to speak with staff. Future dates across the county will be announced later this year.
For more information or for booking contact Beth Dyer, programming assistant at 519-846-0916 ext. 5231 or bethd@wellington.ca.
The Wellington County Museum and Archives is located on Wellington Road 18 between Fergus and Elora. Admission is by donation. It is open weekdays from 9:30am to 4:30pm and 1pm to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
