À propos

In celebration of Culture Days, the MacLaren is excited to participate in Doors Open Barrie! Join us for a special opportunity to get an intimate look inside our Prints & Drawings Room, followed by a fun printmaking workshop in the PIE Education Centre!

Guided by MacLaren Curatorial Assistant Yasmeen Kazak, visitors will view selected artworks as well as the entirety of the Prints and Drawings Room as a space where part of the MacLaren’s prints, drawings and photos are stored and cared for.

MacLaren Education Officer Christina Mancuso will then guide participants in creating a variety of textured prints using Gelli plates, inspired by the amazing artworks just seen! This is fun for all ages!

MacLaren Art Centre

The MacLaren Art Centre is the regional public art gallery serving the residents of Barrie, Simcoe County and surrounding area. Our mission is to engage and enrich the immediate and larger community by providing innovative and relevant contemporary visual arts programming. We believe in the transformative power of the arts and their capacity to enrich understanding, empathy and creativity. As an art museum, the MacLaren is engaged with the collection, conservation, presentation, documentation, promotion and appreciation of contemporary Canadian visual art for the benefit, enrichment and enjoyment of public audiences.

The Gallery has a Permanent Collection of artworks held in trust for the public and presents a year-round program of innovative exhibitions, unique experiential art education activities and special events. Education provides the unifying link that activates our collections and exhibitions, and fosters an understanding and appreciation of the visual arts.
