Insights exhibition turns 30 this year
One of the longest running juried art exhibitions in Ontario showcases works of art from emerging and established artists from Wellington County and the surrounding five counties.
Organized and sponsored by the Elora Arts Council, Insights opens on June 18 at Wellington County Museum and Archives.
Ranging from the serious alongside the whimsical, traditional in partnership with exploratory, three-dimensional juxtaposed with delicate line drawings and fine stitchery – Insights provides a wealth of opportunities to see local art at its best.
With over 300 works submitted for consideration, only 70 pieces are chosen by the jurors. This year they are award-winning visual artists Chris Ahlers, Mike Hayes, and Tanya Zaryski.
The opening reception is on June 17 from 8 to 10pm at the Wellington County Museum, between Fergus and Elora.
A special award will be presented this year by the Insights committee members in celebration of the 30th anniversary. The exhibit runs until Labour Day, Sept. 7.
The museum is open weekdays from 9:30am to 4:30pm and weekends and holidays – noon to 4pm.
