Happening Now – Splash of Colour
Colour is everywhere — in the sky, the trees, the mountains, water, flowers, and even in what we wear. It lifts our spirits, stirs our imagination, and brings the world to life.
This July, Splash of Colour celebrates the magic of colour through the delicate and expressive medium of watercolour. From bold and bright to soft and subtle, each piece invites you to see the world through the eyes of local artists.
Join us at the Village Gallery (1975 Vernon St.) for a refreshing and vibrant visual experience.
Art Class Wrap-Up Potluck Celebrates Creativity and Community
This past Saturday saw the 3rd annual Art Class Wrap-Up Potluck, the program brought about by Jeannette Wilding, brought together students, families, and community members for a heartfelt celebration at Gold Fox Acres. The event marked the end of a successful season of fall and winter art classes, featuring good food, friendly faces, and a few furry guests.
Thank you to everyone who joined us! As we look ahead, we’re excited to grow and expand our art programs to better serve our community’s creative needs—stay tuned for more classes and opportunities to get involved.
Information on Art Classes can be found on the MAC website www.monasheeartscouncil.com or join our Newsletter to receive monthly updates on what is happening!
Call for Artists – Off the Page
July 28th – August 29th
Not all art can be found on a page or even a canvas that hangs on a wall. Art can exist literally anywhere; it can be found in any shape, any size and any medium. The possibilities are endless. An example of this pottery, from a lump of clay artists create amazing functional objects that we us for decoration and for our everyday as functional art.
If you look at fibre, be it natural or synthetic, the possibilities are again endless, from sewing, quilting, and embroidery and beyond. There are so many mediums that we do not always even imagine as art such as wood, jewelry, metal work and leather. Every medium has its own endless list of possible creations.
So, we invite you to get creative and break off the page! Lumby is waiting to see what you create.
Application Deadline July 26/2025
