The Wellington Artists’ Gallery and Art Centre is celebrating it’s fifth anniversary by organizing its first annual juried exhibition.
While 149 pieces of fine art and three dimensional works were submitted by area artists, just over 60 pieces were chosen for the exhibition.
The show opens Oct. 1 and runs until Oct 26. An opening reception is set for Oct. 6 from 2 to 4pm.
Prizes will be awarded to artists in numerous categories.
The gallery is also inviting children to take part in its Culture Days program, on Sept. 30 from 2 to 4pm.
Youths are invited to get creative with projects like painting a rock or a treasure box to take home, helping paint a mural or trying out oil pastels. Families can stroll through the woods and do some sketching, learn to draw the running man, or find their way through the chalk maze. All are welcome.
The Wellington Artists’ Gallery and Art Centre is located at 6142 Wellington Road 29 south of Fergus.
