Bracebridge 150 Collection

This collection is sponsored by The Town Of Bracebridge in celebration of Bracebridge's 150th birthday!

Muskoka Group of Artists, formerly Brown Baggers, carries on the tradition of getting together to paint.

In summer months, they meet weekly to paint plein air at various locations in Muskoka and the surrounding area. Including the summer months, they also meet weekly all year for indoor sessions.

Although they do not have instructors, occasionally, a guest artist is invited to do a demonstration/workshop or a MGA member will do a demonstration. This camaraderie gives like minded artists the opportunity to connect and exchange creative ideas, concepts, new products, techniques and encouragement.

Their collective artwork represents different mediums, subject matter and techniques. They exhibit their art throughout Muskoka and Algonquin Park.
