Eco Tours

OK, so here is my problem.

 

I've been looking for bus tours in Ontario for our local art club members. Tours for artists where they can visit a city like Toronto and go to the art museums, and be guided to local attractions where they can sketch, paint and photograph and of course have time to go shopping. Well, not much is out there to choose from.

 

Some OFNers should get on the guiding bandwagon and offer guide service in the city where they live. It's easy to get on a bus if there is a good guide waiting to organize your trip and show you the sites.

 

Just a thought.

Pam,

You should try contacting many of the Artist Groups in Toronto through the Toronto Arts Council. I am sure you could work out some kind of twining program where city artists can show your group around. In return your Artist group can invite them up to Timmins as a return favor for spectacular fall art.

A few clubs you may look up are:

The Arts and Letters Club

Forest Hill Art Club

The Don Valley Art Club

 

When I studied Fine Arts at York University the amount of artist resources and funding in Toronto was phenomenal. I still feel it is one of the top cities in the world for supporting the arts.

 

Good luck...
