The Markham Group of Artists
The Markham Group of Artists was founded in 1981 by artist Pat Wheeler, so that fellow artists would have a place to meet and practice their craft in the community. Since then, the group has grown to well over one hundred enthusiastic members.
The group includes artists from beginners to professionals, working in a variety of media from charcoal and pastels to watercolors and acrylics.
Instructed by well-known artists from around Ontario, MGA workshops include classes in still life, portraiture, life drawing, landscape painting, and abstract and experimental painting. Workshops are offered at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. For a schedule of workshops, you can access the MGA website, www.guidingstar.ca/MGA
Once a month, the Members' Day program offers exciting presentations, critiques and demonstrations by outstanding Canadian artists.
Members also exhibit their work at various venues, promote the arts in the community, and participate in the vibrant arts scene around Toronto.
The Markham Group of Artists (MGA) meets on Wednesdays during the daytime (usually from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm) from September to mid-May. While the group currently meets at the Markham Community Library, it will be moving to the Milliken Mills Library on an interim basis in early September 2005.
