Tonight the Huronia Museum will be opening its exhibition of the work of Dennis Milton, a local artist. Come to the museum between 7 and 9pm and meet the artist himself!
Local Midland artist Dennis Milton will feature some of his best works at a show that opens at Huronia Museum on Thursday, October 4 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Dennis has been painting since 1974 but really got going in the mid 1980’s with extensive acrylic works that were primarily abstract. Dennis moved to Midland in 1996 and has an extensive gallery and studio in his home on King St.
Dennis really enjoys his work. He says it puts him in a different, relaxed space so he can concentrate completely on expressing his own unique style of painting. It is quiet and contemplative when he is working and he often works all night when he is inspired and “in the groove.”
Dennis invites all of his colleagues, friends and associates to the opening to view some of his best works that he has produced over the last twenty years. Dennis will be on hand to greet his guests and talk about his unique style of art.
This exhibition runs until November 23, 2012.

Photographic Exhibit: Alethia- to tell the truth

Nick Anest was born in Midland in 1929 to Greek immigrant parents who ran The Midland Candy Works. The people of Midland knew Nick Anest as the proprietor of “Uptown Billiards”.
On June 17th we will celebrate Nick Anest, the amateur photographer, who recorded life in his hometown. Nick’s photographs captured Midland in an historical and artistic light. They captured the simple joys of the adults and children who lived in the town. We hope that this exhibit will be seen as a celebration of pride in our town and of Canadian multiculturalism.
Photographic exhibit opens Friday, June 17, 2011 at 7:00 pm and runs until Monday, June 27, 2011.

Donald Pettit is a locally based artist with a 20 year background as a commercial artist/graphic designer, who started painting for himself 6 years ago. His first commission was the exterior murals for the Explorer’s Café as well as map making for the interior walls. Two almost sold out solo shows followed when invited to show at the Carriage House Gallery.
In this show he continues to search for a poetic vision of the natural world around us, “I am trying to find a balance between the visual chaos and the serenity of nature. I’ve always been fascinated by the dynamics of weather, the effects of light, the texture of the forest and the constant colour changes of the water, land and sky. I try to use different approaches to painting that best reflects the subject and hope to draw the viewer into the image. I enjoy the pursuit of painting in various ways to be better able to convey my response to the subjects.”
Donald’s influences include: Tom Thompson, Franz Johnson, David Milne, Turner, and illustrator N.C.Wyeth.
The opening night reception takes place on Fri. Sept, 10 between 7 and 9 P.M. The show continues until Oct.14.
