A Summer of Art in Port Perry’s Downtown

Local artists are showing their works at the Scugog Arts Resource Centre (SARC) in July and August.
The artists, all members of the Scugog Council for the Arts, have their works on exhibit in the centre’s gallery through the end of July. The display features a diverse range of original work in photography, watercolours, acrylics, pastels, fibre and stone by emerging and experienced area artists. You can see works by PRAC artists Joanna Malcolm, Pamela Meacher, Carey Nicholson and Lis Simpson pluse many others through August 31.

In August, the works of Anne Labelle-Johnson, Tony Johnson and Cathy Mark will be displayed.

Also in August, Port Perry residents and visitors will be able to see a larger-than-life work by Tony. SCA and the Township of Scugog worked with Shoppers Drug Mart/Plazacorp Ontario 2 Limited Partnerships to bring an original work of public art of the new Shoppers Drug Mart in Port Perry.The mural, painted by Tony, an SCA member and Oshawa resident, celebrates Scugog’s railway heritage and will grace the west exterior wall of the recently opened Shoppers Drug Mart. His work was selected from applicants after an open call for entry earlier this year. Tony has worked on several murals in Durham, including two in downtown Oshawa. A date for the unveiling of the new mural has yet to be chosen.

SARC, home to SCA, is located at 181 Perry St., Unit G-1, in Port Perry. Open Monday to Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and most Saturdays and Sundays noon to 4 p.m. For specific hours, call 905-982-2121. For more information on SCA, visit www.scugogarts.ca
