Now\, through Voices Through Time: A Mariposa Journey\, we invite audiences to step into this rich history—told through the striking photography of Edwin Gailits and Deb Halbot.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis immersive exhibition\, hosted by the Mariposa Folk Festival\, curated by Beehive Design\, will transport visitors through decades of Mariposa’s vibrant legacy. Featuring rare black-and-white images from the 1970s alongside today’s dynamic festival scenes\, it captures the evolving spirit of a tradition that continues to inspire generations. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Exhibiting Photographers\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Growing up in 1950s Toronto\, Edwin discovered his passion for photography in the 1960s when he witnessed the magic of an image appearing in a darkroom tray. Through self-taught experimentation\, he began capturing the world around him\, developing a fascination with bringing images to life. \nMusic became another powerful influence. He saw musicians transforming emotions into sound\, much like his own photographic alchemy. He started by processing photos of high school performers\, later capturing shows in coffee houses and clubs before photographing concerts at Massey Hall\, entering the world stage of concert photography. His love for travel led himto Europe in 1971\, where he unknowingly embraced street photography. \nHe believed that if someone else couldn’t see what he captured in a familiar place\, he had performed another kind of magic. Edwin earned a degree in Photo Arts from Toronto Metropolitan University\, influenced by masters likeCartier-Bresson and Dorothea Lange. Though he exhibited his work in the 1970s\, he later focused on directing theatre and documentary films while always returning to photography—his lifelong pursuit of visual poetry. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n As a child\, Deb poured over old photographs\, drinking in the indelible moments captured forever in time. After retiring as an elementary school teacher\, she immersed herself in all things photography\, particularly in mastering a DSLR camera\, learning the exposure triangle\, and understanding the art of creating and editing images. Designing a Facebook photography page\, ‘Through MyEyes’\, in 2014\, she committed to posting one image a day for a year to break through shyness and gain feedback for growth. \nHer page has since grown to almost 3000 followers. Recognized by the Orillia Arts Community as winner of the Emerging Artist Award 2016\, Deb has since immersed herself in her community of Orillia capturing events such as Farm to Table\, Night Market\, Rama Pow Wow\, Scottish Festival and many Downtown and Waterfront events. Professional accomplishments include: Somniatis – A Wearable Art Show\, Coldest Night of the Year\, Streets Alive Production Artist Installations and events\, Mariposa Art’s  Theatre stage productions and advertising\, Women’s Day Art Show\, Mariposa Folk Festival\, Couchiching Nature Conservancy\, Cottage Life Magazine\, and she has enjoyed being a long-time photographer with North Simcoe Life. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Exhibition Funded By:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Sponsors\n \n \n \n \n \n Thank you to our amazing sponsors who are making this exhibition possible. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n OTHER EXHIBITIONS\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n AllExhibition CurrentExhibition Past\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The Many Faces of Paul Shilling: A RetrospectiveExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Drake Williams: Awaken the SpiritsExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Icons & Alter Egos: Heroes\, Villains\, and Everything In-BetweenExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Media Arts ShowcaseExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n From Hand to Heirloom: The Art of CraftExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Face to FaceExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 29th Annual International Women’s Day Art ShowExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Made in OrilliaExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Tradition TransformedExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Yours to Uncover: An Ontario Road Trip | Peter Fyfe and John NottenExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n John Gould: Travels of the Mind and BodyExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Voices Through Time: A Mariposa JourneyExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Tracing Places: Advertising in OrilliaExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Orillia: Then & NowExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 28th Annual International Women’s Day Art ShowExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n ORILLIA LANDSCAPESExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE SEVEN GRANDFATHER TEACHINGS: AT THE ORILLIA RECREATION CENTREExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n A Collection-Inspired Exhibition: Four Seasons in OrilliaExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Gordon Lightfoot: Turning Back the Pages | Permanent Exhibition | Orillia Museum of Art & HistoryExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n Perspectives Through Their EyesExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Heritage in Hues: Orillia’s Story Through TextilesExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Loup Garou & Mocassins | Nathalie BertinExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Behold a Man Who is a Bean | Harley DuckExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TRADITION TRANSFORMEDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n OWL PEN REVISITED | GILLIAN LOWRYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TEACHERS AND THEIR ENDURING IMPACT | JOSE SALASExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n INCLUSION: AT THE STACK GALLERYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n EVERYONE HAS A STORY: TALES OF A COMMUNITYExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n THE PROCESS INFORMS ME | JEANETTE LUCHESEExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n PAWTRAITSExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n REFLECTIONS OF OUR ROOTSExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n BACKRA BLUID | STACEY TYRELLExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE TEENAGE ZEITGEIST: At the Stack GalleryExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n SYBILExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 27TH ANNUAL WOMEN’S DAY INTERNATIONAL ART SHOWExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n REGENT PARK PUBLIC SCHOOL GRADE 6/7 GARDEN DESIGN PROGRAMExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n ROBYN RENNIE: SEEING BEYONDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n Grant’s Legacy: Capturing Orillia’s History on FilmExhibition Current \n \n \n \n \n \n WRITING IN THE ROOM: ORILLIA’S LITERARY LEGACYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n FRIENDSHIP REDISCOVEREDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n A COLLECTION INSPIRED EXHIBITION: A CLOSE UP ON CARMICHAELExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 50 YEARS OF MARIPOSA ARTS THEATREExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n STEEPED IN HISTORYExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n JENNIFER ZARDO: HOME SWEET HOMEExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TED FULLERTON: THE SERPENT’S EGGExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n TRADITION TRANSFORMEDExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n HOMAGE by Donald StuartExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n ELIZABETH WYN WOODExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n 26TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY ART SHOWExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n RENEWAL: At the Stack GalleryExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n BEYOND THE FENCE: Christine Mack and David HillExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n GREAT TAIT: The True Story of Orillia’s First MillionaireExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE MACKINAW JACKET: A Canadian Folk CostumeExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n VIEWS OF ORILLIAExhibition Past \n \n \n \n \n \n THE MAN WHO COULD FLY;
