I would have to say that the most precious connections I have made here in Barrie, Ontario are with Awkward Stage and Le Petit Chapeau. Both Alana Sproule and Meaghan Armstrong have been both supportive and inspirational as I begin my journey as an artist. Beyond being my studio neighbours, we are working hard as the Lakeshore collaborative to bring programming to the mews during culture days and deliver workshops throughout the year. I definately could not have done what I have without these two special ladies.

Gary Fine Art and Framing, Awkward Stage, Le Petit Chapeau and Jill Price Studios have partnered to become a member of Tourism Barrie in hopes of raising our profile as a unique shopping district in downtown Barrie. See our tourism webpage to read about each of our galleries and hours of operation.
