Art in the Yard this weekend at Centre for the Arts
Art in the Yard is back for its ninth year.
This year the event is on July 9 and July 10 between 10am and 5pm.
Over 50 artists will exhibit from across Ontario.
The art includes fine painting and jewellery making to photography, ceramics and fine woodwork.
Artists will be on hand to promote their work and answer questions. The event is spread across two acres on the grounds of the centre.
There are live musical performances with room to relax and refreshments are available.
Participants can engage in a historical tour of the centre’s grounds as well as see the artwork of the Harris Collective and Brandon Vickerd’s exhibition in the Minarovich Gallery.
This year, a Heritage Canada Building Communities Through Arts and Heritage grant is supporting the event and the Grand River Agriculture Society is sponsoring the children’s area, a supervised place for children of all ages to hang out and contribute to a community art project or work on solo pieces.
Admission is a $3 donation for adults; children are free. Proceeds go to the continued art programming at the centre on the corner of Melville and Mill Streets, in of Elora. For more information, visit www.eloracentreforthearts.ca.
