Canada Day Community Mural at Hollinger Park

Join the Porcupine Art Club at the The City of Timmins‘ Canada Day Festivities in Hollinger Park on Tuesday July 1st, 2025, starting at 12:00 Noon. We have prepared another community mural for you to paint! There are 50 small (5″ X 5″) drawings, which feature various flowers, animals, and scenes that represent Canada’s 10 provinces and 3 territories.

Here is a teaser of some of the scenes – a tree, a bird, our Maple Leaf, and part of a building.

The mural has been drawn out on a metal panel, and all you have to do is pick a scene you like and we will provide you with the paints to colour it in! There is no cost to take part, and we will also have colouring sheets featuring the scenes if you want to take a souvenir home with you.

We look forward to seeing you on Canada Day!

Below is the City’s schedule of festivities. Full details can be found here: https://www.timmins.ca/our_services/culture_and_heritage/canada_day

Workshop: Painting Glossary & Label Definitions

Thursday September 19, 2024 at 7:00 p.m.

Join us for our first Thursday evening workshop of the year: Painting Glossary & Label Definitions with Karina Douglas-Takayesu.

Familiarize yourself with common terminology and abbreviations that appear on paint labels, as well as phrases that pop up frequently in how-to guides. (For example, the word “Hue” has at least three different contextual meanings.)

Bring along any of your painting supplies if you want to experiment with them during workshop and/or any label mysteries you need help solving. The main focus will be on acrylic paints, but we will also look at watercolour (and other water media), and oil paint labels.

There will be time for questions and discussion. The workshop will be around 90 minutes, and handouts will be given at the end.

Thursday September 19, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. at the clubhouse in Roy Nicholson Park (Pine St. North & Eighth Avenue, Timmins). The door will be open at 6:45 p.m. Free for members and $5.00 for non-members.
