Admission for the Haunted Halloween spooktacular event is $5 per person. Costumes are encouraged and an adult must accompany young children.

The exhibition, "Colour Worker" will be on display at the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre this October. The paintings of St. Catharines artist, Geoff Farnsworth, will adorn the walls of the Joyner Gallery for the entire month.  In this collection, portraits are depicted through a convergence of realism and abstraction. Painted during the onset of the Coronavirus outbreak, the artwork provided a way for the artist to reconnect with people during these unprecedented times.

An opening for the exhibit will take place on Oct. 4th, 2020 from 2:00-4:00 pm.  For the safety of all, face masks are required to visit the indoor facilities. We are limiting the number of guests in accordance with mandated health guidelines.

Audrey and Alan Bain have donated 75 paintings to the bethelink.net capital campaign, with the proviso that proceeds be shared equally with Hospice Cornwall and Baldwin House. All 3 community organizations are grateful to the Bains for their generosity and very pleased to invite the general public to peruse the collection at www.bethelink.net/shop/ and place their bids on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to purchase original artwork in a variety of media media that would grace any home.
