This year, our 60th anniversary year, The Quetico Foundation partnered with the Taylor Statten Camping Bursary Fund in Ontario Discovered, an Art Show featuring artists from the Quetico Artists in Residence Program alongside approximately 25 Canadian artists who are inspired by Ontario’s green or natural areas both within and outside the urban environment.
Thank you for supporting The Quetico Foundation and the Taylor Statten Camping Bursary Fund for a highly successfully, culturally rich evening.
We’ll be posting a booklet of the art displayed at the show, some of which is still available! Visit this page again soon!
