In acknowledgement of Mental Health Awareness Month in May, the MacLaren Art Centre is excited to continue their partnership with New Path Youth and Family Services to host special workshops for families at Painswick and downtown Barrie Public Library locations. Guided by MacLaren art instructor Marjorie Dale, participants will explore shapes and symbols—and incorporate the colour green— to create a vibrant painting that visually represents themes of growth, hope and transformation.
The artwork created will be part of a group exhibition at the MacLaren’s PIE Education Centre in May. All are welcome to celebrate at the opening reception for this exhibition on Saturday, May 2 from 1:00 to 3:00 pm at the MacLaren Art Centre. www.maclarenart.com
These workshops are ideal for families with children ages 6 and up.
The MacLaren and New Path would like to thank Heljar and Karen Hansen from Pratt Homes for their generous donation, making this collaboration possible.
