As Town Hall 1873’s Artist Series comes to a close, we would like to extend our gratitude to Lauren Walker, Lynne Rempel, Jonathan van Bilsen, Karen Doran, Hildy Smith, and Deborah Bateman for sharing their works of art with us and transforming the Patrons Lounge into a beautiful and colourful space through their exhibitions. Your creativity, passion, and various styles have allowed Town Hall 1873 to foster new connections and engage our community with this inspirational and timeless art form.  

We sincerely appreciate Tracey and Warren Strong at The Framer’s Gallery for collaborating and guiding us through this project. Thank you to everyone who attended the receptions and purchased artwork and prints. So far, we have raised over $2000.00 from the sale of prints and paintings for our “Reshaping the Future” fundraising campaign. Our limited-edition print sale will continue and are available for purchase through Town Hall 1873 Box Office and the Framers Gallery. All funds raised will go directly towards the improvements currently being made at Town Hall 1873. 

On behalf of the “Reshaping the Future” committee and the Town Hall 1873 board of directors, we are thankful for our community’s support that allows us to maintain and upgrade this historical landmark.
