Algonquin Room Art July 2015

View the Algonquin Park related works of John Kinsella plus Linda Kristin Blix, Heidi Burkhardt and Barb Ringer in the Algonquin Room at the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre until July 29, 2015. Over the course of a given year, the Visitor Centre’s Algonquin Room presents different exhibitions of Algonquin Park themed art by area artists. The art is available for sale and a portion of each sale is dedicated to The Friends of Algonquin Park who, in turn, use these monies to enhance the educational and interpretive programs in Algonquin. Stop by to view some exciting work, and maybe meet the artist, too!

This special exhibit is open the same operating dates and hours as the Algonquin Park Visitor Centre. Check the Events Calendar for specific dates and times.

Twilight Transformations: The Algonquin Paintings

John Kinsella combines paintings and poems, that act as reminders of the beauty and power of nature, as well as the sheer magnificence of Algonquin Park. Whether canoeing, swimming, hiking, fishing, watching the sunset or sitting around a campfire, the images of this landscape exist as a backdrop in my minds eye and have become a benchmark to which he compares all other landscapes.

In Print: Relief Prints Inspired by Algonquin

Presented by a group of three artists, Linda Kristin Blix, Heidi Rita Burkhardt and Barb Ringer who are intimately connected to the time-honoured process of traditionally carved and hand rubbed relief prints. They are attracted to the strength of character achieved by the spirited lines. Carving the plate, the sound of the brayer as the ink rolls over the surface, the close contact with the work as a wooden spoon caresses the delicate but strong Japanese paper until the print emerges.
