Seeds to Sow: Interactive Walking Tour

Date: Saturday, October 5
Time: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm
Location: MacLaren Art Centre lobby
FREE, Registration Recommended

Curator Katie Lawson will lead a walking tour of the exhibition Seeds to Sow. After meeting at the MacLaren, participants will join Lawson for a walk to engage with the satellite exhibition and six site-specific installations through a series of sensory prompts.

Please note: It is recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes as we will be following both paved paths and uneven ground.

This program responds to the City of Barrie’s temporary public art exhibition, Seeds to Sow. The exhibition features six installations of site-specific artwork that will change Barrie’s landscape from September 27 to November 8. The artworks draw on local ecologies, history, and stories. The act of planting a seed is a powerful symbol of hope and potential. It connects us to ongoing cycles of seasonality, an inheritance from our past and an intention for the future.
