2021 Art Contest

 

What started as a celebration of Canada 150 in 2017, then as a commemoration of Algonquin Park’s 125thanniversary in 2018, has become an annual art contest celebrating art inspired by Muskoka and Algonquin at Deerhurst Resort.

The brainchild of Karin Kriekaard of Eclipse Art Gallery, which is located at the resort, the contest invites artists to submit a series of three paintings that will vie for the honour of hanging at the Deerhurst front desk for the next 12 months, thereby becoming the first impression of our area’s naturally inspired artistic richness for thousands of guests checking in for their vacation or conference stay in Muskoka.

Many submissions are received from across Ontario.

Last Year’s Winner was Monica Morrill.

Monica Morrill is a self -taught artist, born on Southern Vancouver Island. Her work depicts our beautiful Canadian landscape from Muskoka to The Canadian Rockies.

ART CONTEST 2021

This year we are again inviting artists from Muskoka and beyond to submit their interpretation of Muskoka and Algonquin Park’s natural landscape.

Submission details can be found on Eclipse Art Gallery’s website:

https://www.eclipseartgallery.ca/blogs/news/eclipse-art-contest-2021

The lucky winner will have their selected artwork prominently on display for one full year at the front lobby of Deerhurst Resort!

The artwork will be available for sale during the year so the artist may need to have replacements on hand!

-The wining artist will receive extensive promotion through Eclipse Art Gallery & Deerhurst Resort’s press release, websites and social media.

-One Night Stay at the Resort (accommodation &resort fee. Excluding Meals, Drinks & Incidentals.)

Story Trees by Don Hill

STORY TREES is an interactive installation by Canadian radio producer Don Hill that serves as a tool for listening & learning — how we listen — to echoes from an era that is open to reinterpretation.

While digitizing old reel-to-reel oral history interviews, Don Hill was surprised by how things were said at the time in northern Ontario, and how many gestures of speech are no longer heard in common day-to-day parlance. It wasn’t the content of the conversations that first caught his ear; it was the little asides, the nuanced bits of intonation, inflections of speech, as if northern Ontario had a different dialect way back when. As the towns and the province grew, he heard a shift in the patter. He also heard something – an emergent literary voice, a kind of wisdom – that wasn’t accounted for by words alone.

The interactive artwork can be experienced in-person at the NAISA North Media Arts Centre in South River or online at https://www.storytrees.ca/

Rural Roots

 

Artist Janine Marson celebrates her Oxtongue roots with 50 new oil paintings created in the area surrounding her childhood home on Oxtongue Lake.  Janine was fortunate to grow up at her family’s Timber Trail Resort along the banks of the Oxtongue River at the doorstep to Algonquin Park. It was here that she met and watched Group of Seven artist A.J. Casson paint in her backyard and decided to be a painter when she grew up!

Janine says it’s the simple things in life that can help us feel a sense of connection and draw us closer together. Rural Roots is her celebration of those connections.

Saturday, June 29 through Sunday, July 13. Janine Marson will be at the opening reception on Saturday, June 29 from 1 to 4pm.

Art Exhibition: Discovery, Wonder & Storytelling

 

The Art of Michelle Vyn: Showing from May 31 to June 26, 2019, with artist reception on Sat., June 15, 1 – 3 pm. 

An Artist Talk is planned for Saturday, June 15 @ 1:30. As a Wildlife & Landscape Artist, Michelle paints flora & fauna subjects from around the world, often endangered species and the keystone species of our planet. She paints to share her love of creation, and to increase awareness of its beauty and our obligation to care for it.

One of the painting techniques Michelle has developed independently over the past few years has involved the building of texture on canvas or wood with acrylic mediums, by sculpting over the surface while it is still wet, which she paints over when dry. Time and care are taken in the shaping of delicate strands of animal fur, the roughness of tree bark and the coarseness of granite rock, with depth and layers of colour throughout. The details in the texture are better seen in person.

anyWare

anyWare is a distributed media sculpture comprised of two identical objects and a third virtual online portal that are individually connected to the Internet and physically mirror each other. Play games and solve puzzles individually or collaboratively with friends.

anyWare is co-created byJane Tingley, Cindy Poremba and Marius Kintel,

Structuring these interactions are a number of games and puzzles for people to play/solve, either individually or collaboratively. The objects transform in the experience of exploration (either with one person or potentially with many people) and in so doing reveal different levels of interactivity and aesthetic experience.
