The Bruce Peninsula Art Show

The Bruce Peninsula Art Show The Bruce Peninsula Art Show happens annually on the Civic Long Weekend. Fri: 7-9 pm for the “Meet the Artists” Reception and Sat-Mon: 11-5 pm. Free Admission!

Profits provide bursaries to students continuing their post secondary education in the arts. The Bruce Peninsula Art Show was started in l967 by Vince Elliot, a Stokes Bay Summer resident. He was an Art Teacher in Wallaceburg, Ontario and taught art to a handful of his Stokes Bay neighbours, and decided to make a venue where their work could be displayed to the public. Over the years, as the Show

opened to other artists interested in entering, the Art Show was moved to a larger venue at the Bruce Peninsula District School in Lion’s Head. Artists must be permanent or seasonal residents from Bruce or Grey County to enter. In all of these years, there have only been 4 years the Show was not held. Roughly 26 years ago the Show committee decided that they could not do the job without more help to do the work, and there was no Show that year. Thankfully, a group of artists and locals who wanted to see the Show continue formed a new Art Show committee. Then, more recently, Covid shut it down 2 years in a row in 2020 and 2021. The show was also cancelled in 2022 because the parking lot was being upgraded at the school. In the beginning the show was held on the week leading up to the Civic Holi-day weekend and people purchasing works had to leave them until the end of the Show. These days the Show runs from Friday evening through the Civic Long weekend to the holiday Monday at 5 pm, and art can be taken at time of purchase. The new committee also started the Bursary Program which donates the prof-its from the show to grant bursaries to graduating students from Bluewater District School Board that are continuing in the Arts at the post secondary level. The number of artists has grown over the years, and both the exhibitors and the visitors greatly enjoy the event.

It is with great sadness that I share the news that Sue Dyment passed away at the Lion's Head hospital on Thursday night.

Sue joined The Bruce Peninsula Art Show committee in 1999, holding numerous positions including the role as Chair of the Committee from 2003 until she retired in 2024. The BP Art Show is what it is today because of Sue.

Sue was a talented Artist with deep roots on the Peninsula. She volunteered so much of her time to support other Artists. She was a kind and generous soul. Her laughter will be missed.

Family and friends are invited to share memories at the Bethel Missionary Church Fellowship Hall on Saturday, September 27, 2025 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

DYMENT, Susan Beatrice peacefully with a family friend by her side at Lion's Head Hospital late Thursday, September 18, 2025. Sue Dyment of Lion's Head in her 81st year.
