Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre Events

May 30, 2007

Last night your friendly correspondent attended Allen Smutylo’s lecture based on his new book, Wild Places Wild Hearts. The lecture took place at a facility that was new to me, but one I was greatly impressed by.

The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre in Southampton is an amazing example of creative architecture. Located on the shore of beautiful Fairy Lake the building is an amalgam of old brick and new glass. The space is expansive and open, the theatre comfortable and well-equipped. There is a fabulous view from the back deck overlooking Fairy Lake. Both of these spaces are available for rent if you are thinking of running an event. Details can be found by clicking on the link above.

The Allen Smutylo lecture was a part of The Southampton Art School 50th Anniversary Lecture Series taking place throughout the summer. The next lecture in this series is on June 26th. It is entitled “Preserving Bruce County’s History in Painting” and it will be delivered by lecturer Doug Purdon.

On July 3rd there will be a lecture entitled “Southampton: Creative Scene Investigation”. This lecture will be given by Phil Chadwick. The next lecture, “Women in Canadian Art”, is to be given by Judy Thompson on July 10th. There will be a lecture on August 21st entitled “The First 50 Years in Photograhy”. This lecture will be delivered by Michael Cannon. The last of the lectures is to be held on Sept. 4th. It will be called “Bruce County…A Visual Art History”, and the speaker will be Paul Carroll. The lectures cost $15 per lecture or $90 for the entire series. They begin at 7 p.m. and run until 9 p.m. For those seeking more information about these lectures or to reserve seats, please phone (519) 797-5068.

The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre will also be screening a free movie on alternating Sundays starting June 3rd and running until Aug. 19th. For more events happening at the museum consult our events calendar or else the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre website. Take special note of the chocolate gala to be held this Thursday June 1st. The combination of tantalizing events and an amazing new building to be explored makes the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre well worth a visit!
