In The Artist’s Studio
“There are so many layers of art-making in this community: solo or supported, private or public, introspective or odes to the land.”
– Meredith Blackmore, Studiohere, Fergus
Artists of every medium and flavour continue to live, work and exhibit in Elora and Fergus. Packed with independent galleries, group exhibitions, juried competitions, outdoor shows and behind the scenes tours, artists and art lovers are all at home here.
“You do not have to travel far to find subject matter when the Gorge is only five minutes away. It is truly a beautiful place. It captivates you at every turn. We call it the ‘Gorgeous Gorge’.”
– Barry McCarthy, painter
From studio tours, to gazing over the shoulder of a true artist engaged in colourful expression of their surroundings, Elora & Fergus offer art lovers an experience that is nothing short of mesmerizing.
“The shifting light within the Elora Gorge and the ever changing mood of the river is a wonderful inspiration.”
– Jerry Davidson, glass artist.
