MacLaren Art Centre | Doors Open Barrie

In celebration of Culture Days, the MacLaren is excited to participate in Doors Open Barrie!  Join us for a special opportunity to explore printmaking and then get an intimate look inside our Prints & Drawings Room.

MacLaren Education Officer Christina Mancuso will then guide families to create a variety of textured and colourful monotype prints using different style markers on Plexiglas. This is fun for all ages! 

Guided by MacLaren Artistic Director Tyler Durbano, visitors will view selected prints from our Permanent Collection in the Prints and Drawings Room—a space where part of the MacLaren’s prints, drawings and photos are stored and cared for.
