Wasaga Artists Scrapbook 1981-2006Context
The Wasaga Art Group was founded in 1973 by Hazel Stanford. A small group of artists met each Tuesday to share their love of art. Meetings included demonstrations of various art mediums, presentations and sharing of ideas and knowledge. On August 3rd, 2006 the decision was made to change the name of the group to Wasaga Artists. The group is still active currently.
From Wasaga Artists website:
"The Wasaga Artists are a group of likeminded, creatives who wish to connect with other local art groups, community service clubs, and a few outreach programs, in order to share our love for the arts. Our group welcomes artists of all ages, skill level, and and backgrounds. Whether you are a quilter, painter, sculptor, or photographer, there is a place for every artist who wishes to share their creativity in a safe space, full of support and encouragement.
Our group meet every week from the start of September until the end of June, at the Wasaga RecPlex on Tuesdays between 1 and 4 pm.
Each year we host two art shows one in the summer and one in the fall. We also hold several workshops with fellow artists in order to learn new techniques in different mediums. Members have the opportunity to display their artwork here on our website, or to put on display in one of our ART GALLERIES at either the Rec Plex or the Municipal Town Hall."Acquisition
