We will be presenting two shows in June, one in Kirkland lake, and one at the Timmins Museum: National Exhibition Centre. Both shows will have a theme, as listed below:

Sir Harry Oakes Chateau, Kirkland Lake: “Reflections” (Voted on late last year.)

Timmins Museum: “Brilliant Earth” (Voted on during the February 2015 business meeting). This show will also let the public vote on their favourite piece for the “Gary Bostrom Memorial People’s Choice Award”.

All PAC members in good standing, who have attended at least 3 business meetings (two if you are from out of town) during the 2014/2015 year may enter this show. New members are exempt from the meeting attendance rule. You can submit two pieces per show, and your work should be fairly recent or not exhibited previously.
