Plein Air Starts! Thursday July 8th at 10 am
Our first meeting of the Plein Air group will be in the backyard of the McKay House in Unionville. Please check in with Pat Durst and then you can find a location to work either on the Main Street, in front of a heritage house on one of the side streets, or along the trails to Toogood Pond. We will meet back behind the McKay house at 12 noon where Edward Abella will hold a critique of the days work. We will continue to meet every Thursday at 10 am hopefully until Thanksgiving. Watch our website and email blasts for weekly locations. Open to members and non-members.

Announcing Ontario Trillium Foundation Funding
Your MGA leadership team is pleased to announce that MGA is receiving a grant of $11,300 from the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund
to help our group rebuild and recover from impacts of COVID-19. With these funds and once pandemic restrictions are lifted, we will secure safe meeting spaces,
where we will live stream workshops and demonstrations with equipment purchased. We will also extend our social media outreach, so we can continue to
increase our membership. Next, our membership registration process will be automated to facilitate information processing and new member orientation. Finally,
we will begin conversations with local art groups to explore opportunities for collaboration.
MGA extends our sincere thanks to the Ontario Trillium Foundation for its support of our efforts.
