Insights Juried Exhibition of Fine Arts

04/24/2026

Fresh from last night’s opening of the Insights Juried Exhibition at the Wellington County Museum & Archives — and after celebrating this year’s award-winning artists — join us tomorrow for a special Walk with the Jurors.

This is a rare chance to hear directly from the jurors about what stood out, how decisions were made, and what makes a piece truly award-worthy. It’s always such an interesting peek behind the curtain and a deeper way to experience the show.

🗓 Saturday, April 25
🕜 1:30–3:00 PM
📍 Wellington County Museum & Archives

Come curious — you’ll never look at art the same.

We look forward to seeing your work.

Insights remains one of the few exhibitions juried from the actual physical pieces — not digital images — allowing colour, scale, texture, and presence to be experienced fully. Our carefully selected jury — a curator, a practicing artist-educator, and a studio artist — brings multiple informed perspectives to the process.
If you haven’t already registered, consider this your gentle nudge. Your work deserves to be seen.
