Muskoka in the Open Air

An EXHIBITION of original art work by artists from the BALA PLEIN AIR GROUP

November 1, 2025 to May 1, 2026

Public Gallery Space – Township of Muskoka Lakes Office 1 Bailey Street, Port Carling, Ontario M-F 8:15 AM to 4PM

A celebration of painting together since 2021, the exhibition includes original art from 9 artists painted en plein air on locations in Muskoka Lakes.

Eighteen paintings of recognizable landscapes and scenes of Muskoka Lakes in pastel, acrylic and watercolour are on display.

Art work for this exhibition is representative of our group of plein air artists who paint regularly with the group and aligned with the theme ‘celebrating the act of painting outdoors.’ Art work was selected from a wide variety of submissions by a Jury panel. The Jury members were past winners at our Cranberry Festival Art Exhibition, Jane Love Elliott (Grand Cran 2023) and Joanne Schwartz (Grand Cran 2024).

This exhibit is open for viewing by the public Monday to Friday from 8:15 AM to 4:00 PM now through to May 1, 2026 during regular office hours of the Township offices.

THANK-YOU to the members of our Jury Panel, Jane and Joanne, our installation team – Astra, Jon, Joanne H., Janet, Gayle and Susan, to the Artists for letting us hang your art, and a huge thanks to the Township of Muskoka Lakes for this opportunity to share examples of our plein air joy through art with the public.
