Permanent Collection

The Art Centre has received some much needed assistance, in the form of monetary donations, to help restore art work for our recent permanent collection exhibitions.  We invite all those interested in art, local history and preserving our community's permanent collection for future generations, to become involved.

How?  A donation a $25.00 to the permanent collection would enable us to replace the supports in several pieces, with new acid free foam core, or replace the matting.  It would enable us to purchase a large spool of picture wire, allowing us to hang a number of pieces which have not been exhibited for many years.  If you would like to make a larger donation, the Art Centre would be happy to match you or your group with an individual work of art that you may sponsor for restoration.

The proceeds of our events will support us substantially in our continuing efforts to provide and improve on our quality arts programs, education services, exhibitions and tours.  We are committed to providing educational opportunities and services free of charge to the schools within our community.

Your support of this event enables the Art Centre to provide art education programs which provide in-depth encounters with visual literacy and contemporary culture and offer them free to children from JK to grade 12.  They discover new ways to perceive and express their senses.  They gain valuable skills in visual literacy and artistic creation and are encouraged to be curious, active, critical, creative and engaged.
