Kawartha Art Gallery Executive Director Susan Taylor explains “These movie screenings are a fun way to bring groups of people from all walks of life together to enjoy a piece of art somewhere that they wouldn’t normally do so. By creating positive experiences that connect the public sphere with artistic expression, we can nurture that relationship and encourage people to explore more culture and art experiences around the Kawartha Lakes, because there’s so much we have to offer.”
The Kawartha Art Gallery is a not-for-profit organization located on the second floor of the Lindsay Library building at 190 Kent Street West in Lindsay, Ontario, and has been a custodian of the visual culture of the Kawartha Lakes region for over 40 years.
The series is done with the support and sponsorship of the City of Kawartha Lakes and Parks Canada, as well as a partnership with Audio Plus Multimedia Solutions Inc
