The Helson Gallery presents an exhibition featuring a selection of new work by the Halton Hills Plein Air Artists (HHPAA) which includes Monica Burnside, Carol Hughes, Sheila Mitchell, Beatrice Roche, Rose Scully and Susan Ying. The group meets every Thursday from spring to late fall to paint in a Halton Hills area park. During COVID-19, these meetings have added to group members’ appreciation of nature and have fostered friendships in art.

New Acquisitions
August 4 - September 19
The Town of Halton Hills art collection includes over 700 works by various contemporary and historical artists in addition to the culturally significant Helson Collection. All of the collection has been given to the Town through private donations. In 2020, 62 works of art were received for the collection from ten generous donors. This exhibition showcases a selection of these donations and how they add value to the current collection.
