North Muskoka has inspired generations of artists. Probably one of the best known, Tom Thompson, used to stay with friends in Dwight, and their old cottage is still graced with little examples of his art, presented to them as 'hostess gifts'.
There are thriving studios all around us, with several Studio Tours taking place throughout the year. The Autumn Studio Tour in September, and the Artists of the Limberlost are probably the best known.
But while it's always inspiring and rewarding to visit these studios, there's no need to check out a gallery -- you can try your own hand at Art!
Linda, Neva and the girls have been coming for a long weekend at BONDI for 19 years! They move in with their cross country skis, good food, good wine, good friends -- and all their art supplies.
This is their 'experimental art' weekend, when they cut loose and try all sorts of different expressions in their artwork. This is the weekend when they 'take a chance' -- sometimes (like all art) it pays off big. And you always learn something!
The big fridge in LONGSIDE cottage makes a great place to display art -- as do all fridges!
It's a wonderful way to spend a weekend with friends!
