 Destiny Art Exhibit 

Sponsored by the Amherstburg
         1812 Alive of Amherstburg, Ontario 

In collaboration with the Gibson Gallery and Mudpuppy Gallery 

You are invited to participate in the Destiny Art Exhibit at the Roots to Boots Bicentennial Festival to be held August 3rd, 4th, 5th 2012. This exhibit will be themed to “The Strength of the People”.

The story of war is not just about dates and battles lost or won.  It is also about those who lived and endured them. The spirit of the Roots to Boots Festival and the Destiny Art Exhibit is to commemorate those who lived the war and their ancestors.  Art by local artists will be created to convey their feelings and understandings of this long ago conflict and it’s far reaching influences on people from the distant past to present day.  This exhibit expresses the destiny of our nation that was forged by the strength of its people, as we, their descendants, celebrate 200 years of peace between our nations. 

This is a rare opportunity for the artists to be part of a festival which is expected to draw 50,000 in attendance, to showcase their art in a juried exhibit and have the opportunity to promote their art. Prizes to be awarded to the works which most effectively compliment the theme.
