Scugog Arts presents: ‘Landscapes & Dreamscapes’ by Kevin J Harper. This exhibition challenges the established distance between realistic and dreamlike scenarios by incorporating dreamlike works amongst the more realistic nature of Kevin J Harper’s older work. Harper aims to lessen this distance through the relationship between the real and imagined snapshots of the everyday and mundane world we live in. As a mostly self-taught artist, Kevin J Harper finds solace in painting and drawing as it continues to be a central source of play, rejuvenation & transformation for him. 

This exhibition will run from October 11 to November 11, with the artist reception on Oct 18^th from 1-3pm. Meet the artist, enjoy light refreshments and experience Kevin Harper’s work in a bright space full of creative energy! 

Join us at the Central Library as we honour the courage, contributions, and sacrifices of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis veterans through ceremony, storytelling, and community reflection. In partnership with Whitby’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Committee.  

This is a drop-in program, no registration is required.
