Our 2nd annual Archie Stouffer Student Art Exhibit will celebrate and reflect the rich cultural and natural heritage of The Land Between, the vital and diverse landscape that we call home. The exhibit will be on display from February 13 to March 15, 2025 in the Agnes Jamieson Gallery.
The Township of Minden Hills is part of the traditional territory of the Michi Saagiig and Chippewa Nations, collectively known as the Williams Treaties First Nations, which are Curve Lake, Rama, Hiawatha, Alderville, Scugog Island, Beausoleil and Georgina Island First Nations. We acknowledge a shared presence of Indigenous nations throughout the area, and recognize its original, Indigenous inhabitants as the stewards of its lands and waters since time immemorial.
The Land Between (TLB) was identified as an important landscape in this territory, spanning Parry Sound and Orillia to the Ottawa valley, and sits "between" the Canadian Shield and St. Lawrence Lowlands, harbouring species and features from north and south, but also ones that are unique. TLB is a last stronghold for many wildlife and habitats in southern Ontario, supporting 59 federally listed Species-at-Risk and iconic yet declining wildlife like loon, bear and moose.
Thank you to the Minden Hills Cultural Centre Foundation for donating $250 to purchase art supplies for the students to use to create their artwork. Awards of Recognition, selected by our jury of local artists, will be handed out in several categories at the Student Artist Reception on Saturday, February 22 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Refreshments will be served. All are invited to attend.
