The MacKay Centre in Goderich Is Hosting The Goderich Art Club Show and Sale In August

by Bob Montgomery

Goderich Art Club member Cindy Fisher says the Art Club was formed in 1952 and held it’s first Art Show that year. The Art Club currently has close to forty members, and this year 27 artists will be displaying and selling over 400 original works of art, ranging from water, acrylic and oils. This year's featured artist is Jayne Crebolder.

The Goderich Art Club Show and Sale is a free community event, so there's no charge for public to attend. Each artist pays a fee to be in the show and that fee supports the programming of the art club and the MacKay Centre for Seniors, which is a non-profit organization. It is a show and sale, so there is no pressure to purchase when you attend the event. The Goderich Art Club and Mackay Centre do not take a commission or percentage of sales from each artist. If a piece of art is sold, the entire amount goes to the artist.

The Art Club Show and Sale runs from August 9th to the 11th at the MacKay Centre at the corner of North and Nelson Streets in Goderich. And the hours are from nine until six on Friday and Saturday, and ten until four on Sunday.
