The Dufferin County Museum and Archives will host a show and sale of original art works by local members of the Orangeville Art Group.

The "Summer in the Silo" art show and sale promises to have works of all styles of art for your viewing pleasure.

"In the spring of 1955, nine women met in the basement of Westminster United Church and christened themselves the Orangeville Art Club. Bonded by a shared love of painting, these friends became the driving force behind a group which would span five decades..." — excerpt from: Fifty Years of Creativity.
