BEHOLD A MAN WHO IS A BEAN | HARLEY DUCK
2025-01-25 11:00 - 2025-03-01 16:00
January 25, 2025 – March 1, 2025

Special Reception: January 25, 2025 | 1-3 pm

Behold a Man Who is a bean

Solo Exhibit by Harley Duck

Harley Duck, Truth in Advertising, Sure, 2023.

Behold a Man Who is a Bean, explores the artist’s recent interest in the compositions and embellishments of mediaeval artworks, which historically belonged mostly to the wealthy and were viewable in a place of worship. With the embellishments removed, Duck’s subject matter are simple random objects such as kitchen scraps or a greasy pan or common people who have no claim to major positions of power. The pieces draw upon this history humourously. Harley Duck is a graduate of the University of Guelph, where he received a BA in English and Studio Art in 2021, he is also currently completing a Museum and Gallery Studies Ontario College Graduate Certificate from Georgian College.

Encaustic Seasonal Cards with Francy Forte
On Wednesday, December 4, from 12 to 2 p.m., as part of our Midday-Make series, please join regional artist Francy Forte for your chance to make seasonal encaustic cards in this introduction to encaustics workshop. Encaustic painting is an all organic medium consisting of purified beeswax and damar resin (hardened tree sap). Unlike any other art medium, encaustic goes from warm to cold, not wet to dry. The heat of the wax fuses it to the surface beneath. In this workshop you will learn the basics of handling the medium through a variety of techniques such as hand drawing, stencilling and brushwork. All materials, a light snack and refreshments are included, but participants are welcome to bring their own lunch. No previous experience is necessary.

The largest carriage maker in the British Commonwealth, a car designed by men as famous as Henry Ford at the time, a pan-Canadian sales network, favourable tax laws. Should be a recipe for success, but was it?
Hear about the Tudhope Carriage Company, Tudhope Motor Company, Orillia bodies and much more. You will be amazed to hear about the wide array of goods manufactured in the factory at the corner of West and Colborne Streets, and also its many offshoots.
Visionary members of the Tudhope Family contributed in a major way to Orillia being an industrial hub in central Ontario.

OWL PEN REVISITED
2024-09-28 11:00 - 2025-01-25 16:00
Owl and Snake”, 11.5”x16.75”, oil based ink on Awagami Kitakata Paper, 2022.

Owl Pen Revisited is inspired by the work of Lucille Oille’s relief prints from the book “The Owl Pen”. Oille was a Canadian artist and printmaker (1912-1977) who lived in Oro Medonte in the 1940’s, creating images for the book “The Owl Pen” by Kenneth Wells. This exhibition will also feature current rural landscapes and places of personal significance.

Gillian Lowry is a multidisciplinary artist working in printmaking (relief printing and screen printing), digital illustration, painting and sculpture. She draws on the natural world to inform her work, creating landscapes and incorporating animals and birds which appear to her as spiritual messengers.
