Haldimand Museums partner with Dunnville students for art exhibit and auction

Haldimand Museums has partnered with Dunnville Secondary School’s art class for a third year to create a special art exhibit and auction, “We Chair-ish You In Haldimand County.” 

The exhibit will be on display at Wilson MacDonald Memorial School Museum (3514 Rainham Road, Selkirk) from April 7 to May 29, featuring a variety of re-purposed wooden chairs with original designs that showcase the students' unique imagination and abilities.

An exhibit opening will be held on Wednesday, April 16, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., offering an opportunity to meet the young artists and hear what their artwork represents. 

Closing out the exhibit, residents and visitors are invited to celebrate these young local artists with an art auction at the Wilson MacDonald Memorial School Museum. The auction will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 29 with all proceeds benefitting Haldimand Museums.
