Event: Art Course – Painting the Winter Landscape
Blurb: Painting the Canadian winter landscape in season gives immediate access to spectacular light, form and colour. Without leaves, deciduous trees provide visible structure and important composition, while iconic evergreens shape the local narrative. Cold weather elements include the chroma of shadows on snow, the chill in the sky, icy cloud formations and the colour palette of the Group of Seven. Historic and contemporary artists such as Tom Thomson, William Blair Bruce, Lawren Harris, Doris McCarthy, Emily Carr and Kim Dorland will be presented and discussed. Haliburton provides the perfect location to develop this unique landscape. Create in real-time or from existing photos. The Sculpture Forest and views from HSAD windows provide a great deal of inspiration.

Event: Pottery Throwing Camp
Blurb: Intermediate/Advanced course: This is an opportunity to really focus on increasing your throwing skills. If you’ve ‘hit the wall’ in terms of being able to throw – more efficiently, bigger pieces, more consistently, looser pots, tighter pots – you will be encouraged and challenged to learn new throwing techniques, increase throwing skills, and practice, practice, practice. Throwing is a physical skill. It requires proper technique, good tools, and proper care of your body. Through a series of demonstrations, specific exercises, class discussions, inspirational videos, and lots of wheel time, you will elevate throwing skill, as well as develop a personal practice of pot-making. A pug-mill will be available to make reclaiming clay as easy as possible. While one bisque fire may be done to ease transport of trophy pots, it is not the intent of this course to cover glazing and firing. Also included is a smoke firing and a primitive firing in a downdraft barrel kiln. Please bring 2 dry, unfired, narrow-mouthed pots. A limber sense of humour and a willingness to cut pots in half will make the course much more enjoyable.

Event Details
Rails End Gallery’s annual members exhibition, is called Arts and Science. This group show brings together new work by over 50 Gallery members who approach art-making through curiosity, experimentation, observation, and thoughtful process.
Rather than illustrating science directly, “Arts & Science” looks at how artists and scientists often work in similar ways: asking questions, testing ideas, paying close attention, and learning through making. Visitors will find work that feels investigative, playful, precise, intuitive, and sometimes unexpected. Together, the exhibition offers a snapshot of how artists in this region are thinking about the world — how ideas take shape, how materials behave, and how knowledge can be built through creative practice.
Arts and Science continues Rails End Gallery’s long-standing tradition of presenting exhibitions that highlight local talent while inviting broader reflection and conversation.
The exhibition is open during regular gallery hours at Rails End Gallery in Haliburton

Event Details
Join us at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery for the opening reception of Mountain Lake at a Glance (The Hidden Nature of Paint), a new exhibit by Gord Peteran.
Gord’s family has summered at Mountain Lake just north of Minden since 1934. While Gord is known as a sculptor, he has been plein-air painting Mountain Lake for the past 40 years. Until now, this has remained a private affair, separate from his professional career as an artist. Accumulating slowly over the years, these small oil sketches have performed much like a secret graphic diary. What is unusual about this undertaking is that almost all 400 oil sketches are of the same view – true north from the family cottage. His exhibition at the Agnes Jameson Gallery, will be the first time these personal paintings have been presented publicly.
“The light changes constantly so I work quickly to fuse an hour of time with a place of the heart, attempting to document not only the trees, clouds and waves, but also the ghosts that collect by a lake.” G.P.
The Artist:
We welcome back Toronto sculptor Gord Peteran to the Agnes Jamieson Gallery. Gord has lectured and exhibited extensively throughout North America. His work is held in many private and public collections. Locally, he created the red entranceway for the Haliburton School of Art + Design and has a sculpture in the Haliburton Sculpture Forest.
While a professor at the Ontario College of Art and Design University for over 25 years, Peteran has also taught at The California College of Arts, Sheridan College School of Arts and Crafts, and the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, RI.
Gord has been the recipient of numerous Government Arts Council grants and awards throughout his career, including the Jean A. Chalmers National Arts Award. Three exhibition catalogues have been published on his work.
The Agnes Jamieson Gallery is a public gallery with year-round visual exhibitions of local and regional art. The Gallery is part of the Minden Hills Cultural Centre which also includes the Heritage Village & Nature Place Interpretive Centre. The Gallery is fully accessible and is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 am – 4 pm. Admission is by donation.
