NEW Call - Renewal
NEW Call – Renewal
The Art in Public Places Committee is launching a new Call to Artists for the Orillia Recreation Centre’s art gallery entitled ‘Renewal’. The Committee is seeking artists to interpret the theme either through new or existing original works of art.
The Call to Artists is open to everyone with preference given to local/regional artists.
The deadline for submissions is November 4, 2022.

Mechanics of Life
The theme for the Stack Gallery’s second exhibit is ‘Mechanics of Life’, and challenges artists to ponder both the mechanical and physical purposes of the site, both past and present. Artists were invited to draw on their own creativity to glean what ‘Mechanics of Life’ means to them through visual expression.
The following pieces were select by jury and are featured in the exhibit.
