À propos
Come and help us paint a mural at the Downtown branch of the Barrie Public Library. This mural is being curated by renowned mural artist Scott A. Crew and recreates a painting by the Group of 7 member Lawren Harris, depicting a historical site in downtown Barrie.
Did you know that the idea to form The Group of Seven was first discussed right here in Barrie? Iconic Canadian artist Lawren Harris had a summer home in Barrie, and he created many paintings in Barrie between 1918 and 1923. Many believe his work “A Street in Barrie” was sketched on the steps of The Carnegie Library (now the MacLaren Art Centre). Come view the “clues” and decide for yourself.
Everyone is invited to come add their brushstroke to a new community mural on our beautiful Reading Garden! The young and young at heart are also invited to participate in a colouring sheet activity based on the mural to take home.
This programming is in partnership with Culture Days Barrie.
