Posted on July 12, 2024 by porcupineartclubwebmaster

Thank you to everyone who visited the Porcupine Art Club’s Community Mosaic Mural station at the Timmins Public Library’s 100th Anniversary Celebration at Hollinger Park on Wednesday July 10, 2024.

We hope hope you had as much fun taking part as club members and volunteers did with seeing the paintings come to life!

Thank you to Library Staff for getting some action shots of us, and here is a group picture of the Library Staff (one staff member is also a PAC member) holding their new plaque that will be mounted inside the library in the near future.

A big thank you also to the Porcupine Art Club members that helped out getting the mural prepared for our guests, and helping out at the event.

All the canvases were completed by our guests at the event, and are looking forward to assembling the completed image for October.

Take Part in Our Community Mosaic Mural for the Timmins Public Library’s 100th Anniversary!

Posted on July 9, 2024 by porcupineartclubwebmaster

Wednesday July 10, 2024 – Starting around 11:45 a.m. Hollinger Park

Visit the Porcupine Art Club’s table at the Timmins Public Library / Bibliothèque municipale de Timmins 100th Anniversary celebration on Wednesday July 10th, 2024 in Hollinger Park, and take part in our community mosaic mural painting! Pick a canvas tile you want to copy and club members will provide you with the paints and brushes, as well as any guidance you may need to help. This will be like a big paint by number with the design already drawn out for you. (Don’t worry, they’re not as complex as the logo seen here!) The finished – and assembled – mural will be unveiled during Ontario Public Library week in October.

Please note: this is an adult activity, but we will have drawing supplies on hand if you are accompanying children. There will also be all sorts of children’s activities throughout the day.

The opening ceremony starts at 11:00 a.m. and the day goes until 4:00 p.m. To allow for canvases to dry, we will be accepting our participants up to 3:00 p.m. Please note, we will be at Hollinger Park, not the Timmins Public Library.
