MUSKOKA ARTS & CRAFTS INC.
Muskoka Arts & Crafts Inc. is the true heart of visual arts in the province's favourite vacation area.
One of Ontario's oldest and most well established arts organizations, Muskoka Arts & Crafts Inc. has
grown since its inception in 1963 to include almost 400 artists and arts supporters and has become
an innovative force in the community-at-large.
For artists, Muskoka Arts & Crafts is one of the benefits of living in Muskoka, a source of support
through like-minded people that fosters creative growth and a feeling of community. In turn, the
promotion of the arts through Muskoka Arts & Crafts and its members has made Muskoka a vibrant
and culturally engaged destination for visitors, local residents and summer residents alike.
Muskoka Arts & Crafts is a non-profit organization that is financially self-supporting. The Summer
Show, which has been a feature in the community since 1963, attracts 200 hundreds artists from
across the country and is visited each year by more than 20,000 people. The annual Christmas Show,
Spring Members' Show and Who Art Thou features the work of the organization's many members and
the Chapel Gallery in Bracebridge, which Muskoka Arts & Crafts calls home, hosts an ongoing cycle of
juried exhibitions by local and visiting artists.
In April of 2008, an initiative launched by Muskoka Arts & Crafts Inc. culminated in the Muskoka District
Council declaring the District Municipality of Muskoka as a Designated Arts Community: a testament
to the vitality of the area's arts scene and its potential as a fundamental building block for year-round
art tourism in Muskoka.
The web site for Muskoka Arts & Crafts is updated regularly with information about gallery exhibitions,
members' studios and workshops taking place in the area or at the Chapel Gallery which also houses
the organization's permanent collection of members' work.
Membership in Muskoka Arts & Crafts is open to any person who owns property or lives in Muskoka.

POSTCARDS TO THE G8MUSKOKA JUNE 2010� �
The G8 Summit, an annual meeting of major industrialized democracies, was held in Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, on June 25-26, 2010.
To recognize this global event, Muskoka Arts & Crafts Inc., a non-profit visual arts organization in the host District Municipality of Muskoka,
called upon the artists of the world to inform the G8 leaders, through their art, what was important to them, what was important in their
home communities, and what was important for their country.
Artists from sixteen countries responded with postcard sized art. Postcards to the G8 became an exhibition of small art with big perspectives.
Artists commented on a wide range of topics that included nuclear war, world hunger, homelessness, women's rights, terrorism, war, peace,
hope, saving the family farm, literacy as well as the G8 itself. The dominant theme was the environment - air pollution, litter, offshore drilling,
global warming, protecting endangered species, space junk and more.
By coming together, these artists have given us access to different viewpoints and have helped us to understand what we sometimes cannot
articulate. Their art is a means for contemplation, questioning and debate…and debate can be a catalyst for change.
You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
Mahatma Ghandi
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world:
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
