About Us
The Markham Group of Artists was founded in 1981 to facilitate and promote visual arts in the Markham area. Today the membership has grown to over 140 artists and the Markham group of Artists represents a vibrant art community in Markham. The organization offers members an impressive array of workshops and lectures by distinguished artists and stages a variety of juried and non-juried shows in the community. Most meetings and workshops are held at the Markham Village Library (see map), southeast corner of Highway 7 and Highway 48 between September and May.
If you are interested in joining our group click here for more information about the benefits membership. Our workshops are open to non-members. See the upcoming workshops on our home page.
