“Art in the Park” Series – With Pukaskwa National Park as a backdrop, be inspired by talented artists to create your own works of art!
HERON BAY, ON – This summer, visitors to Pukaskwa National Park will have the opportunity to meet artists from across Ontario. Explore hidden driftwood beaches, dramatic rocky headlands, and the ever-changing moods of Lake Superior. Pukaskwa has a fantastic line-up of artists and workshops planned!
From June 27 – September 3, Fridays to Tuesdays at the Visitor’s Centre, participants can “Meet the Artist” from 10am -11am to chat about art. Original works will be displayed at the Hattie Cove Visitor Centre. Each artist will be sharing expertise with on-site workshops, including; transforming an object into an ornament; drawing caricatures; basket weaving; building a fairy house; photography sessions; and painting wild watercolours.
Two-hour workshops take place Saturdays at 1pm in the Visitor Centre. Workshops are free with park entry, and unless it’s a camera, all materials are supplied. Of course, you bring the inspiration! Surround yourself with breath-taking scenery while gaining inspiration from Pukaskwa’s wild shore.
