The Spring Members’ Show displays the strength, vitality, creativity, and wealth of talent found within Muskoka Arts & Crafts. 

The diverse and outstanding work by our members creates an exciting three day exhibition. Over one hundred members have their work in the show.

The Spring Members' Show opens with an awards presentation and reception on Friday beginning at 7pm. 

Cash awards for the Ruth Upjohn Memorial Award for Best in Show, the Patricia M. Boyer Award for Best  2D, the Jeanne Webb Wasylkwi Award for Best 3D, the Muskoka Heritage Foundation Art & Craft Award, the Silver Bridge Gallery Award for Best Use of Media, the Muskoka Wilderness Photography Award, the Ontario Crafts Council Design Award and many Awards of Excellence are presented. 

After the awards presentation, Moonglow takes the stage to provide an evening of entertaining music as the artists and the public mingle to share ideas about the work on hand as well as creativity in general.

While visiting the show, you can cast your vote for the Peoples' Choice Award. 

With over 350 members working at a wide variety of media at all levels of development, Muskoka Arts & Crafts is a dynamic organization. 

Throughout Saturday, and Sunday, our members are at the show offering demonstrations of their techniques and artistry. In addition to the work on display, these demonstrations are and inspiring and educational glimpse into the creative world. 

The show is a labour of love by our members who volunteer their time, energy, expertise, and enthusiasm to set up and manage this gala exhibition.
