We are pleased to host a rotating art gallery featuring the work of local artists and artisans.
The Township’s Administration Office will oversee a new exhibition every three months, and will feature a variety of themes and artwork. Submissions will be overseen by a committee of local artists and residents.
Gallery viewing hours are Monday to Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information please contact the Economic Development and Tourism Officer.
We will be accepting submissions early in the year for the next exhibition, which will begin in the new year 2022.
The hanging apparatus for the display of pieces includes chains and hooks for paintings and/ or other pieces that can be hung. Additionally, the Township offers a glass display case located on the first floor that can hold 3D art such as jewelry and pottery. Should there be any questions as to the availability or ability to display pieces please contact the Economic Development and Tourism Officer for more information.
Below are some of the artists active on the Artists of Woolwich Committee:

| I am very pleased to be a member of the steering committee for the “Artists of Woolwich Gallery”. As an artist, my goal is to inspire those who see my work to look more carefully at the world and the people around them. I believe this Gallery will help me, and other artists to achieve our goals from the exposure it will provide and am very grateful to the Township for their continuing support. |

Kelly is a multi discipline artist creating art works with jewelry, photography and painting. She trained in oils as a teen then made the jump to painting with acrylics. Jewelry making has been the priority for the past 14 years. Photography is a new medium for her to work with but her parents were avid photographers for many years.
She currently is part of the Kissing Bridge Trail Studio Tour and looks after the advertising, marketing, social media and web site content in a volunteer capacity. Kelly has been with the tour for many years and 2019 will be her 7th year.
She is very excited to be a part of the artist advisory committee for the newly minted Artists of Woolwich Gallery. To have another way to showcase our local artists is beyond thrilling for her. "I am all about promoting our talented local artists and seeing what they have to offer."

Viv has always worked around the world in the Healthcare Field. She developed a passion over the years for Art and its benefits. Through travel and life, she has grown, learnt and uncovered that artist communicates with a language that is uniquely full of knowledge, wisdom, culture etc without the spoken language of words.
At the present time, Viv is retired which grants and enables one the opportunity and privilege of time and the resources of acquired skills and knowledge to assist with establishing an outlet for the local Artist of Woolwich.
Currently, Woolwich is growing in population. Viv wholeheartedly would like to assist and uncover opportunities for the Artist and the residents to develop a passion for the talent and art in this community.

Dan has always been interested in art and doodling. In fact, he usually got in trouble for doodling and not paying attention in school. He has since figured out that doodling is/was a way for him to pay more attention. Dan is always aware of the air, floor, chair, sounds, smells, peripheral vision objects, pressure from his shirt, etc but when he is doodling he can focus his attention on the doodle and better on what is being said. See a case-in-point below. These are doodles from a conference on the Brain & Learning in Boston, MA. and are available on this site.
Dan obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts in visual art and arts & crafts with a teaching certificate in grades K-12. He went on to a Masters in Education with a specialization in Counseling and Psychology. After a few years of working he went to Purdue University and graduated with a Ph.D. in Psychology and Education. Working as a university professor left little time for art, but a few pieces continued to be created. During his university years a book titled Cartoon Thinking was written. Cartoon Thinking is available from this web site. It is a series of lesson plans for teaching cartooning basics for a teacher who "can't draw". Now that he is retired he has started working in art again.
His medium of choice is pencil. He feels that being able to pick up a pencil and find some paper and just draw makes this something that is possible for anyone...no special tools required. Later came some work with watercolors and acrylic paints. Hopefully, you will find something that tickles your imagination and will take you off into that wonderful world that only you can access in your mind's eye
