ART-ON-THE-LAWN July 10th & 11th, 2010

  July 10th and 11th will see the 13th annual Perth “Art on the Lawn” Show and Sale, one of the most popular shows of the Summer season. What started as a small group of friends of Joy McLenaghan displaying their art has grown as a tribute to her memory and as a contribution to the Perth Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation, drawing crowds from Kingston, Brockville, Ottawa and beyond.   This year will be bigger and better featuring over 30 artists, all members of the Rideau Lakes Artists’ Association of which Joy was a founding member. Visitors will enjoy artwork portraying many local landscapes, sparkling florals, and imagination unleashed in watercolour, acrylic, oil, pastel and pencil as well as pottery, quilting, iron works and wood carvings. As always 5% of all sales will be donated to the Perth Great War Memorial Hospital Foundation in Joy’s memory. The show will be open from 10-5 both days. Visitors are welcome to visit with the artists and enjoy the festive atmosphere at 3054 Rideau Ferry Road in Perth.
