The Dufferin County Museum and Archives presents a unique art exhibit by Creemore area artist Peter Adams. Recipient of the Reed T. Cooper bursary and an Ontario Arts Council grant for this project, Adams will be exhibiting a series of paintings and photographs of an abandoned farmhouse that sits proudly on Mulmur Townships Second Concession. Like so many modest Ontario Gothic homes of the area, this house has had a long and colourful history; though it will likely face demolition once the property is sold. A favourite subject of many painters and photographers, the house has lured Adams to paint it many times over the last 12 years. This exhibit is both a celebration of a past way of life and the people that lived it, and a contemplation of one of lifes most familiar realities change.
