The Walter’s Falls Group of Artists (WFGA) are proud to be presenting its 22nd Annual Show on August 23, 24 and 25 in the Walter’s Falls Community Centre. On offer will be delightful, intriguing and stirring works of art in a broad range of mediums, styles and subject matter: acrylic, watercolour and pastel paintings; decorative and stylish ceramics; innovative woodworking; playful sculpture; and superbly executed basketry and metalwork.
As always, the WFGA strives to offer patrons fresh experiences every year by including exceptional guest artists in addition to its regular members. Frequent visitors to The Show will be sure to find work by artists they already value and follow, while at the same time encountering new approaches and techniques. This year’s guest artists include painters Jill Alexander, Bridget Light and Arlene Saunders, sculptor Jonathan Craig, wood and metalworker Chris Saunders, and graphic artist, painter and sculptor Melanie Earle. The WFGA members participating in 2019 are Jo Ann Sauks, Mark Thurman, Nick Furgiuele, Jorgen Fleischer, Evelyne Richer, Terry Burns, Ron Ball, Lynn Belden, Vince Bowen and Michael Milhausen.
The WFGA Show takes place in the heritage Walter’s Falls Community Centre, its spacious interior a pleasing backdrop to the artfully arranged exhibition. Getting there is half the fun; Walter’s Falls is a charming village in the heart of Bighead River country, only half-an-hour from the communities of Owen Sound, Markdale, Meaford, Thornbury and Craigleith. The WFGA Show is a highlight of the Grey County cultural scene, blending outstanding artwork in an attractive and unique exhibition space with a friendly welcome from the artists and artisans.
Visitors to the Friday night reception (August 23, 7 to 10 pm) can enjoy delicious snacks and beverages while viewing the artworks and mingling with the artists. Given the popularity and liveliness of the evening, many patrons also return during the following two days (August 24 from 10 to 5 and August 25 from 10 to 4) to browse more slowly and quietly.
