The Lounge Gallery

“For me, the best part of being a cartoonist in Orillia was that, a few years after moving to town from the Big Smoke, I became editor of The Orillia Sun, a worthy little community rag, where the only editor I had to report to was myself. My cartoons could comment on, laugh at, deride or celebrate whatever newsworthy subject came along without the artist ever having to look over his shoulder. It also allowed me to caricature many a politician and public personage, both local and otherwise.”

April 15 – July 17, Opening reception April 15 7-9pm

The Mulcahy Family Gallery and Lounge Gallery

HERStory will showcase the contributions of local women to their communities in the past and present. Specifically, the exhibit will look at women in Orillia, Severn, Ramara and Rama and will run concurrently with the International Women's Day Art Show in OMAH's Mulcahy Family Gallery. Visitors will be able to learn the stories of prolific women - from pioneers to suffragettes, factory workers to business owners - alongside artifacts from OMAH's Collection. We invite visitors to leave their own stories of women who have influenced their lives both locally and beyond.

Opening Reception: Friday, December 11, 6-9pm with Open Mic

An Art-stravaganza featuring food, music, spoken word poetry, performance, prizes and enough art to tide you over 'til the spring thaw. Orillia and area High School students have put aside cross-regional differences to collaborate on this once-in-a-year chance to see some of the very best work produced by young local artists.
