After Nature: We’re bringing art to the streets of Halton Hills! ‘After Nature’ by artist Ingrid Mayrhofer is an outdoor art exhibition on display in six outdoor locations. Residents viewing these works of art in their local areas are reminded to follow public health guidelines and practice physical distancing to help combat the spread of COVID-19.
Many local arts and culture businesses have changed the ways that they do business in response to COVID-19 and continue to offer cultural services and experiences that enrich the life of the Halton Hills community. Some highlights include virtual lessons offered by Centre Stage, Silver Creek Music Academy and Academy of Music and the ‘Pottery To-Go’ service offered by Glazed Expressions.
