Welcome to a place of Poetry and the Arts!

There is room to grow in the arts in North Grenville. With nature trails and the connecting waterway from Ottawa to Lake Ontario, there is plenty to inspire artistic creation in the very landscape. There is a history and a community that welcomes growth. The focus for this year is POETRY. In a language that expresses emotion and care, poetry captures the imagination and in partnership with the visual arts and music brings our audience to a place worth exploring.
