From sunrise to midnight, these landscapes trace the shifting moods of the day. Drawn from the Art Centre’s permanent collection, these works capture the radiance of morning, the activity of afternoon, the glow of evening, and the stillness of night. Together, they show how artists across time have explored light, atmosphere, and the quiet balance between presence and absence.

ART TREES AND TRAILS

Art has an incredible ability to unify. Supporting the mission of the Public Art Centre, especially “encouraging the appreciation for and supporting the practice of the visual arts in St. Thomas and Elgin County”, the “Art, Trees & Trails” project will allow us to engage with the community outside the walls of the Public Art Centre, promote art education, and add to our visual environment in places where community members and visitors explore nature.
