Scugog Council for the Arts’ 2019 Annual Juried Show is approaching quickly! This year, our highly esteemed juror Kent Farndale will be assessing all forms of art in our open juried exhibit kicking off August 10th at the Scugog Arts Gallery, carrying on until August 31^st. The gallery at Scugog Arts will be open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 4pm. Juried shows are a great opportunity for artists to showcase their art, win prize money, and possibly have their pieces sold. The Best in Show prize is $300, second place prize Is $200, Honorable Mention winners get $100, and finally the winner of the People’s Choice Award will receive a gift certificate!

Kent Farndale’s history of civic involvement began in the early 1970’s when she successfully campaigned to retain and restore Port Perry Town Hall into a theatre for live performance. She even sang there in the 1980’s as a member of the Scugog Choral Society.  Kent was instrumental in the creation of an art gallery when Scugog built a new library in 1982. After 10 years of organizing the gallery, the Scugog Memorial Library Board paid tribute to her, naming the gallery in her honour, as well as establishing the Kent Farndale Bursary for the Arts. Kent helped in the early days of the formation of the Scugog Council for the Arts and has long been an Advisor to the Board. We are lucky to have Kent here with us for this exhibition!

Don’t miss out on the wonderful pieces! Everyone is welcome!
