One of the longest running juried art exhibitions in Ontario, Insights showcases works of local art from emerging and established artists. Organized and sponsored by the Elora Arts Council, the show opens on June 18 and runs until Sept. 1 at the Wellington County Museum and Archives (WCMA).
“This exhibit provides artists with an opportunity to showcase their creativity in an outstanding venue alongside 50 others from the area,” curator Susan Dunlop said. “Three-dimensional works, fibre art, delicate drawings and bold paintings create an exciting experience for all.”
The opening reception is on June 18 from 7 to 9pm at the WCMA. The awards presentation begins at 8pm. Refreshments and live musical entertainment are provided.
In celebration of its 35th anniversary, the Elora Arts Council is organizing a jurors’ walk on June 22 from 1:30 to 3pm. Jurors Doug Kirton, Martin Pearce and Ted Fullerton will give us an understanding of how their sensibilities, attitudes and ideas shaped the exhibit. Admission is $5.
The Wellington County Museum and Archives is located on Wellington Road 18 between Fergus and Elora. The galleries are open weekdays from 9:30am to 4:30pm and 1 to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
