Art in the Community

27 October, 2024 0 comments Leave a comment

This year, the Kawartha Art Gallery in Lindsay, ON invited me and other member artists to participate in a new initiative, Palette Partners, a community art and local business partnership.

Palette Partners is part of the Gallery's ongoing efforts to support the City of Kawartha Lakes cultural economy by creating opportunities for local artists to promote their work to a wider audience, while forming connections within the larger community.

Artwork accepted into the Palette Partners project is displayed in public spaces at participating businesses for several months, with a QR code providing viewers with the option to purchase the artwork online through the Gallery's website.

Three of my paintings were selected to display at Milk & Honey Eatery, a newly-opened restaurant at 18 Kent St. W. in downtown Lindsay.

I am pictured above in front of the building and my paintings are shown inside the restaurant beside owner Olivia Moore, whose passion for baking and cooking rivals my passion for painting.

I enjoyed a delicious lunch at Milk & Honey last week, along with 30 members of the Women's Probus Club of Lindsay, and the service and food were both excellent. I highly recommend this spot for brunch, lunch, or just a hot beverage.

They offer quality home made meals and fresh baked goods, and are open from 10 am to 3 pm Monday through Saturday. Check out their website here.

I am very pleased to support the cultural and business communities this way and applaud all the local businesses and artists who have joined Palette Partners.
