Call for Artists

Call for Artists of Halton Hills 

Locally Grown: Further Afield

April 19 – June 18, 2023 in the Helson Gallery

This year’s annual Locally Grown exhibition in the Helson Gallery will take place this spring with the theme Further Afield. The world is finally opening back up since the pandemic and travel is becoming more common. That might mean travelling more within your own community, town, province, country or even further abroad. This exhibition explores the spirit of getting back out into the world. The theme doesn’t have to be taken in a literal sense and can be expressed as an emotion or imagined idea of being Further Afield.
