Get ready, Kingsville! Art is once more exploding in our community in a whole new way!
The many artists/writers/poets/creatives of Arts Society of Kingsville have been waiting (somewhat impatiently) throughout the pandemic to celebrate Kingsville with their creative abilities.
We were grateful to be able to start our community support by volunteering as family activity leaders last Saturday. This took place on the Carnegie green under the direction of Karen Loney, Manager of Recreation Programs and Special Events and Amanda Willms, Open Streets Coordinator.

There will be fun family activities each Saturday from 4 to 8 p.m. till mid-September on the Carnegie Green.
We are now back with a new home. Thanks in particular to Rose and Ed Roach for making this happen at the historic Carnegie Building. The gallery will be open for local and tourist visitors six days a week at no charge. (Closed Tuesdays.)
In keeping with the Kingsville theme, we will open the Carnegie doors for an exhibit called “Our Town” on Saturday, July 17 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
All paintings are Kingsville area-related and show the beauty of our community.
“Our Town” Exhibit
We hope everyone will include the Carnegie gallery on their lists of Stage 3 celebrations and in the years to come.
