Artist Reception: April 11th, 1pm-3pm 

Scugog Arts presents: ‘Wild in Pieces: Collage Creatures of Land, Sea and Sky’ by Kate Greenway 

 April 4th  - April 26th, 2026 

268 Queen St, Port Perry, ON L9L 1B8 

Wild in Pieces: Collage Creatures of Land, Sea and Sky invites viewers into a vibrant world where animals and birds emerge from layers of texture, colour, and imagination. This mixed-media exhibition brings together creatures collaged from recycled magazine paper, birds formed with the fluidity of watercolour and the spontaneity of monoprint, and animals built from hand-painted and collaged tissue paper. Each piece celebrates the beauty and diversity of the natural world while showcasing the possibilities of reimagined materials. Through fragments and layers, Wild in Pieces transforms everyday papers into extraordinary portraits of life on land, sea, and in the sky. 

All are welcome! 

We are excited to launch this year's 16th annual Outrun CF Durham 5K Walk/Run! Over the last 16 years this local community walk has raised $227,000 thanks to supporters like you!

By supporting this community event, you're making critical work possible. Funds raised through community events like Outrun CF go to support CF Canada's specialist government relations team and CF Canada advocates who are fighting for access to critical medicine, fuel innovative research programs, and ensure the care and support that the entire CF community needs is available and accessible.

This year’s event will be run in a hybrid format.
