Art Exhibition featuring Jamie MacLean and music performance by Heath Canyon · May 6, 08:36 pm

Jamie’s exhibition of beautiful landscapes and photographs was tremendous! Depicting vibrant forest walks, Georgian Bay landscapes, and moody fall fields showed the diversity in MacLean’s works!

On Saturday afternoon, backdropped by Jamie’s paintings, we held a music performance with innovative musician, Heath Canyon. Heath provided the audience with a moody, performance artist approach with his original instrumental music. Very unique and original indeed! He brought a bag full of instruments for the audience to participate in his second set – from tamborines, to a rice shaker, the audience was moved to create some sounds to accompany his performance. Thanks Heath! After his second set, he brought out his piano to allow Stu to play his guitar during a jam session! Alot of fun!

Sunday afternoon, Jamie provided a hands-on demonstration. He shared 10 of his 8 × 10 photographs to participants and assisted them in adding acrylic paints to the photo.
