Historical Outreach Programs

In November 2022, the Wasaga Artists created Christmas Cards and on March 7, 2023 created Easter Cards for the Wasaga Beach Branch of the Seniors Wish Foundation. The cards are delivered to seniors who are living alone and do not have families.

In April of 2022, Wasaga Artists were invited to host a creative workshop for our local group of Brownies. We all worked together to paint butterflies, create handmade cards, and paint colourful rocks. One of our members and creative business owner gave an artist talk about her journey as a working artist.

In the Fall of 2019, some of our members worked together during our weekly meetings to paint an old door for the Wasaga Beach Library. Using Ann Marr's original designs, we all worked together to paint each side with a whimsical winter setting. This door, along with others, were on display for the community to enjoy.

Wasaga Artists' Outreach Program enjoyed spending an evening assisting the Brownies to earn badges through creating art. Badges were earned for Survival in Nature, Making Useful Items from Nature, and Learning about Self Image. Each little artist completed a painting of edible mushrooms.

Here are some of our members hosting a creative workshop at one of our local retirement homes. With some guidance, each artist was able to enjoy the process of working with acrylic paints and a reference photo in order to create a piece of their own on canvas.
