Winter has been a blur of sawdust, paint, and planning. We\u2019ve been hunkered down at the Dyment Recreation Hall, getting the new arts space ready and keeping our weekly workshops going. It\u2019s been a lot of work, but the payoff is close\u2014our first official exhibition in the newly renovated space is only about a month away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But as much as we love what\u2019s happening indoors, we\u2019re itching to get back outside. Our program isn’t just about gallery walls; it\u2019s about the land around us. So this year, we’re adding outdoor landscaping and installations to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve been keeping these apple trees tucked away inside, letting them get strong enough to handle the move to our outdoor park space. It\u2019s a bit of a creative project in itself\u2014designing a landscape that looks good but also feeds people. This isn’t a “quick fix” project. It\u2019ll take years to see the full result, but to us, the trees are just as much an exhibit as the paintings on the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From canvas to soil, we are bridging the gap between artistic expression and sustainable food security in Dyment. Our goal is to make the park a place where you actually want to spend an afternoon. We\u2019re working on adding benches, better landscaping, and outdoor art that can handle the Northwestern Ontario elements. It\u2019s all part of our bigger plan to focus on food security and keeping our community connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s been a long winter, but the saplings are ready and the plans are set. These seedlings represent a long-term vision for a lush, edible landscape that nourishes both body and soul. The snow won\u2019t be here much longer. Stay tuned\u2014we\u2019ve got a lot more coming this spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
