Magic of Children in the Arts (Magic) is bringing a burst of colour and creativity to The Gallery at L.E. Shore!
Based in the Southern Georgian Bay area, Magic aims to inspire children to create, exhibit, and celebrate art. For almost 30 years, they have presented an annual children’s art exhibition at the Collingwood Library, and in 2025, their reach expanded to include four exhibitions across the region in Thornbury, Collingwood, Meaford, and Wasaga Beach.
In addition to exhibitions, Magic offers community art classes and delivers school-based workshops led by professional artists. These programs provide meaningful opportunities for young artists to explore their creativity in supportive and inspiring environments.
For this exciting new show, Magic instructors worked closely with Beaver Valley Community School students to create hundreds of amazing artworks. Through engaging, hands-on workshops, students honed their artistic skills and prepared pieces for public display.
Opening Reception: Saturday, May 31 | 2-4 pm
Join us on May 31 (2:00–4:00 pm) for the opening in celebration of the show and its creative young artists. Everyone is welcome. Enjoy light refreshments, check out the beautiful display, and join in some fun, hands-on activities.
