This winter the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre invites everyone to experience two new and exciting art exhibitions, Re:Collections (now-April 2) and Hope & Healing (Feb. 14 - March 31).

Re:Collections
On display now is Re:Collections, an exploration of fibre as an art form,one that embraces cloth, thread, paper, and mixed media. A collaboration between the group Connections Fibre Artists and the Wellington County Museum and Archives (WCMA), artists selected artefacts from within the vast WCMA collection to serve as their inspiration for pieces in the show.

The public can view Re:Collections in person or online via the Museum’s latest virtual exhibit. This is the first virtual exhibit of 2022, and the second one produced by the Museum, a move that greatly expands the reach of the work.

Many of the pieces from Re:Collections are for sale, for information on purchasing a piece please contact Wellington County Museum and Archives Curator, Hailey Johnston at haileyj@wellington.ca or 519-846-0916 ext. 5226.

Hope & Healing
On Monday, February 14, artist Tracey-Mae Chambers will be creating a temporary public art installation at the Museum using a single, continuous piece of red string. Her work, Hope & Healing, represents love and courage, but also passion, anger, Indigenous slurs, danger and power. Chambers will be working throughout the day and visitors can watch as creates the piece. Her work will be captured by time-lapse video, as well as photographed and when it is removed the string is returned to her for her next installation.

Artist Talk, Feburary 14, 7-8PM – Later that same day Tracey-Mae will deliver an artist talk about her work. This talk is open to the public and it will be live streamed.
