Donations needed – 2nd Hand Art Supplies Sale
Are you cleaning out your studio or craft room this summer? MAC is starting to take donations for our 2nd hand art supply sale. This sale helps us fund our student bursaries for youth wanting to further their education in the arts.
Supplies can be dropped off at the MAC Village Gallery which is open Mon-Sat 10am-4pm
The Sale will take place September 26&27 at the Autumn Artisan Market!
Now at the Village Gallery – Limited Palette
Painting with a limited palette can seem like both a frustrating experience by the results are truly magical. Come witness as our local artists take just a few colours; most no more than 3 individual colours plus white and/or black; to create a wide range of tones.
Come discover how they have brought paintings to life with everything from monochromatic palettes to specialized palettes allowing them to create wonderfully harmonious effects on canvas.
Show Dates: August 24 – September 25

Call for Artists – Tangled Roots
Come join us in exploring “Tangled Roots.” Where we’ll emphasize compositions where lines or forms intertwine, creating friction and complexity. Artists are encouraged to tangle brushstrokes, patterns, figures or even typographic elements to create a busy non-realistic piece that reflects the art of nature’s inner workings. This creates a window for open interpretation from the viewer. Letting them consciously define their own image.
In some cases, tangling is its literal definition (knotted hair, braided rope, interwoven cords) and sometimes it’s structural (overlapping textures, intersecting silhouettes, tangled perspective,) but either way it emphasizes themes like confusion, desire, fate, memory or the ways ideas and visual input can overlap and refuse to resolve. Dig into your interpretation of the complexity of daily life and the correspondence of our environment with compositions in mind.
Show Dates: September 28 – October 30
Application Deadline: September 26
