The Algonquin Art Centre has officially opened for the summer. I went to the Algonquin Art Centre yesterday to check out their exhibits for summer 2007: "Landscapes of Algonquin", "Wolves of Algonquin " and "Wildlife of Algonquin". Each exhibit has a great display of paintings and sculptures, it’s definitely tough to choose a favourite! Each artist captures aspects of Algonquin Park in their own original way and, therefore, there is a little something for everyone.
So, while you’re driving through Algonquin Park, make sure to drop into the Algonquin Art Centre. There is no fee to go into the gallery, though they will accept a donation, and there is even a great spot to sit outside in the Art Gazebo and have a drink or a snack before or after you set off on a hike.
The Algonquin Art Centre also has an excellent boutique with a variety of unique pieces. I definitely intend on going back there to do some gift shopping and maybe some for myself too!
In addition to checking out the Algonquin Art Centre there are also a variety of interpretive programs that are going on in the park throughout the summer.
I blogged more about these events previously, but here is a small list of some of the programs that are being held over the week of June28th – July 5th:
June 28th – "Insect Colours" (Algonquin for Kids program) at 10:30am
June 29th – "Canoe Outing"
July 1st – "The Black Bear" Evening program at 8pm
July 5th – "Calling All Birds!" (Nature Craft); Paint your own wooden bird house with acrylic paint and take it home with you!
