The Brockton Art Committee (BAC) invites submissions from artists who would like their original work considered for display on the Walkerton Library Art Wall (The Wall) and lower level gallery. The Committee reviews proposals, makes selections and establishes an annual exhibition schedule.
Four to six shows are planned for The Wall each calendar year. Each exhibition period is two to three months. Exhibitions for the lower level gallery require volunteer gallery sitters coordinated by the committee and the artist.
We would also like to remind artists of the opportunity to show their work on the "Wall" within the Walkerton Branch Library. This is an excellent chance for local artist's to share their work in or near their home town. Please contact Tracey at the Walkerton Branch Library if you are interested at 519-881-3240.
The Wall is located on the main floor of the Walkerton Library. The display area is approximately 14 feet by 8 feet. Work in any fine art medium is acceptable though the space is only suitable for work that can be hung.

"What moves me in my work is a deep need to tell a story. The title of this show is “Memories Mark Our Journey”. The theme or thread through the work began with my mother’s journey with dementia and how memories from her past are so clear and the present so hard to hang on to. To enable my story telling these new works are created with layers of collage, paint or other media to build a history or memory, then an old photograph, a work, phrase or piece of the past brings the painting to life. The figures are often alone giving space to their ‘story’ and the life they lived." - Deborah Ann Schenk
"Who we are is where we have been…..and a story told is a life lived." - Deborah Ann Schenk
