This summer OMAH is debuting a guided downtown walking tour themed around Orillia in the 1870s, a time in which there was a licensed pub for every 150 citizens and it was legal to carry a loaded and concealed firearm. 1870s Orillia was chaos, and we are so excited to tell you all about it every Wednesday night! Tours will depart from OMAH at 7pm and finish at The Hog N’ Penny at 8:30pm where one drink is included in your ticket price. Please wear appropriate footwear to walk in. This program begins on Wednesday July 28th, and will run every Wednesday until the end of September. Book now as space is limited! You won’t want to miss out on this fantastic date night opportunity, or an evening out with friends.
Only $25 per person ($20 for members).
This tour is for ages 19+ as alcohol is included. Tickets must be booked at least 24 hours in advance.

For more information, send an email to Monica.

A plein air artwork is one that was made outside, on location, from real life. En plein air literally means “in the open air.” The concept is simple: you work from life to capture the immediate light and colour. This often means painting quickly, because the light changes drastically over time. Join Juliana Hawke, on this full-day En Plein Air experience. As a group you’ll enjoy the beautiful Stephen Leacock Museum property, feed off each other’s enthusiasm for plein air painting and learn a few techniques along the way.
Juliana will talk about Franklin Carmichael’s work along with that of some other artists, their different watercolour techniques, the perils of painting outside (!) and give some instruction before participants tackle their own masterpieces.

Location:
Stephen Leacock Museum NHS
