The Mad & Noisy Gallery

From their website «The Mad & Noisy Gallery is a not for profit collective of artists primarily from the Southern Georgian Bay area. The gallery offers exhibition space, art workshops, music nights and an ever changing display of talent from emerging and established artists. Named after the two rivers that converge outside of Creemore, the gallery is staffed by member artists and community volunteers.»
Mad & Noisy is exactly what I would expect from a small art gallery in a small town. There are craft arts and water colours and jewellery that look like they would be great for people looking for little things to put around the house. Bits and bobs for bookshelves or coffee tables are plentiful by the front door.
The far walls are home to larger pieces. At this time we were treated to oil on canvas, mixed media photographs and a few carvings. I thought a lot of the work was very well done but it wasn’t really my style. Having said that, I like that this gallery is a collective space and seems to give equal time to new and established artists. It’s no secret how difficult creative arts can be without some sort of support system around you helping create awareness of your work.
