The Kawartha Art Gallery and the Kawartha Lakes Historical Society are joining forces! They are working on programming that goes a step further than their walls. The Art Gallery president said, "We can’t just expect that people are going to want to come in, it’s a very one-dimensional experience just coming in to view something on a shelf or something on a wall. We want to get out there and offer programming that interacts with people." When those programs and events do get scheduled, we will be sure to let you know!
Realizing the public interest in museums and art galleries has changed, the Kawartha Art Gallery and the Kawartha Lakes Historical Society, which runs the Old Gaol Museum, are embarking on a new partnership. Both realize that today’s successful museums and galleries cannot wait for the public to walk in the door but they must go out into the community. The new entity called KMAG for Kawartha Museum and Art Gallery, will work to create programming to appeal to a broad sector of the community.
