The "seasonal" legacy of art

Volume 62 | August 25th, 2020

While summer is winding down, Art is still going strong. As we go back to a delayed sense of normalcy, with offices opening and schools starting, Markham Arts Council would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our members, partners, volunteers, staff and the entire community at large who've stood by us and Markham's local artists during these extremely challenging and unprecedented times. Thank you, from the bottom of our heart. We couldn't have done it without you!
