Art and Design: Indigenous Artists Exhibit and Sale
2022-07-23 - 2022-08-11 | Macaulay Heritage Park, 23 Church Street, Picton, Ontario, K0K 2T0, Canada
This year we again welcome Indigenous artists back to Macaulay Heritage Park for the seventh Art Show and Sale.

Hope springs eternal, and during times of stress and change, it is amazing to see how the human spirit can rise to give expression to life in all its established and experimental forms.

Artistic creations in oils, watercolours, acrylics, pen and ink, and mixed media, will join the carving and sculpted forms of bone, antler, and stone. A new element has been added this year with a design portion specializing in fabric and leather.

As an added feature, the Art and Design show is bringing in a guest Mohawk artist who specializes in faces and the human form. Have you ever looked in the mirror and wondered who that person was looking back at you? When you look at the faces he paints, your mind will suddenly become filled with questions that may expand your understanding and even lead to an epiphany.

Come join us this summer, in an artistic adventure.

(As written by show curator and participating artist, Narda Kathaleen Julg.)

This year’s guest artist is D. Ahsén:nase Douglas.

Admission to the show is free. Donations to the museum are welcome.

Graveyard and Gallows Walking Tour
Alongside an experienced guide, explore the grounds of Macaulay Heritage Park, the historic estate of Reverend William Macaulay, who is credited with giving Picton its name. Tour the neighbouring graveyard at his former church and spot the unusual tombstone that’s in Ripley’s Believe or Not. The tour will make its way to the nearby courthouse, where you’ll explore the exercise yards, jail cells and gallows, most famously used in the 1884 hanging of two local men, a sentence some say was based on dubious evidence…
Accessibility Note: The Gallows are accessed via a flight of narrow stairs. Of a 90 minute tour, this stop accounts for the final 5-10 minutes.

The de Vries Natural Heritage Collection
2022-06-24 10:00 - 16:00 | Ameliasburgh Heritage Village, 517 County Road 19, Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada
Part of the Ameliasburgh Heritage Village permanent exhibits, this collection tells incredible stories about our natural world, its biodiversity, both the carelessness and conservation efforts of humankind and last, but not least, the craftsmanship of Jake de Vries and his lifelong passion for preserving natural heritage for both public education and aesthetic appreciation. Although Jake was a hunter in his early years, he was more of a conservationist and considered taxidermy as a method of presenting the wonder and beauty of nature. The majority of specimens were not hunting trophies, but rather victims of either busy roadways or poachers (Ministry of Natural Resources staff often provided Jake with specimens that had met these sad fates). The collection shows the love he had for wildlife and his great gift for bringing these once lifeless creatures back to life.
