About

Come celebrate our region's natural and historical heritage at the Tucker House, a historic site with a mandate for environmental education. In addition to the tour of the site and the house, local artists and artisans will present demonstrations of traditional crafts and interactive art workshops. Bring your picnic and enjoy the day with the whole family!

Artist Shanna Steals will offer a workshop entitled "Introduction to Sculptural Painting and Mixed Media - Protecting the Environment and its Natural Resources". In this workshop, participants will learn how to create a painted work with found and recycled objects to create a work that will focus on the conservation of the planet and its natural resources. They will learn how to incorporate objects from the recycling bin and found objects from nature to create a sculptural painting. **This workshop has a limit of participants (Registration link below)**

This Event is a part of the Ontario Culture Days Regional Hub Program. A closing event with speeches will take place at 1pm, followed by a musical performance by Héloïse Yelle. Check back for more details soon
