June 20, 2010 Aboriginal Art Show 1pm - 4pm |
Whetung's is first and foremost an art gallery and this means that we don't just represent Native artists.

We share with you our history, our culture, and our heritage as we honour National Aboriginal Day. |

August 2 to 6, 2010 August 9 to 13, 2010 Soapstone Carving Workshops |
For the first time we are offering soapstone carving workshops
with internationally known carver Sandy Cline. This workshop will provide a general introduction to the carving of soapstone. You will develop a working knowledge of the material, the tools and the methods used to complete a carving. Beginning with a study of the properties of the stone, you will produce a simple piece and progress to making a sculpture of your choice. The development of your own personal style will be encouraged. |

Summer and 'art in the Kawarthas' have become a synonym for those who have discovered the wealth of art galleries, exhibits and artists' retreats that abound in this area. From the world-famous Buckhorn Art Festival to Sir Sandford Fleming College's School of Fine Arts in Haliburton, this is the place to be in the summer if art is your thing. Especially if native, nature, or wildlife art is your thing! Start your tour right here at Whetung Gallery! |
