The Barrie Art Club was founded in 1949 to encourage active participation in and appreciation of the visual arts in the community. It is a not-for-profit organization that is run entirely by its volunteer members. The club assisted the MacLaren Art Centre in its early planning stages, and was a co-founder, along with the Kiwanis Club of Barrie, of the Huronia Festival of Arts and Crafts.
The Barrie Art Club's Gallery is the hub of several club activities. Regular events such as still-life sessions, art critiques, general painting demonstrations, instructional videos and other events are pre-organized in a relaxed and friendly setting.
There are also exhibitions, on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, of members' work. Drop in and enjoy the changing displays by talented artists from the area. Attend an opening to meet the featured artist and other club members.
Our club also houses a fine permanent collection of artwork which include paintings that have been donated over the years by some prominent visiting artists.
