Haldimand Museums has partnered with Dunnville Secondary School’s art class for a third year to create a special art exhibit and auction, “We Chair-ish You In Haldimand County.”  

The exhibit will be on display at Wilson MacDonald Memorial School Museum (3514 Rainham Road, Selkirk) from April 7 to May 29, featuring a variety of re-purposed wooden chairs with original designs that showcase the students' unique imagination and abilities.

An exhibit opening will be held on Wednesday, April 16, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m., offering an opportunity to meet the young artists and hear what their artwork represents. 

Closing out the exhibit, residents and visitors are invited to celebrate these young local artists with an art auction at the Wilson MacDonald Memorial School Museum. The auction will be held at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 29 with all proceeds benefitting Haldimand Museums.

Hamilton Children’s Museum will be popping up at Dundurn National Historic Site in the Historic Kitchen Garden. Bring your young family and friends for free nature-based activities in “Sophia’s Garden”, a child-focused interactive space. This area of the garden was inspired by excerpts from The Diary of Sophia MacNab, as Sophia describes playing in the kitchen garden and growing a small plot of fruits and vegetables with her younger sister. This new garden features plants selected to inspire kids to touch, smell and interact with nature. Join Hamilton Children’s Museum staff to explore plants, animals, insects and engage in hands-on activities.
