The Niagara-on-the-Lake Arts Collective is hosting its second Canada Day scavenger hunt, offering an opportunity for residents and visitors to get to know more about the local visual arts community.

Professional visual artists, and art gallery representatives in NOTL created the collective a year ago, led by Lise Andreana, chair of the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre. She organized the first scavenger hunt in 2021 as a way to introduce their collective network and local art.

Participants in the event are given clues and led to various artworks and locations throughout town.

The entry form with the rules and instructions to play can be downloaded from the collective website, notlartscollective.ca; or picked up from any of its six member galleries, including the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre. All entry forms with correct answers will be entered into a draw on July 2 for a chance to win amazing prizes.

Another draw will be held at the Pumphouse on Canada Day for a chance to win an original artwork by local artist and member Sharon Frayne. Now in its second year, Peter Domarchuk is hosting a raffle to help promote visual arts in town.

Entry forms are now available in the Walker Gallery to be filled out in person.

The Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre will be open during Canada Day weekend July 1, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and July 2 and 3, 11 a.m. to 4 .pm.

Correct entries will be entered into a draw for a chance to win one of three gift certificates donated by the Sandtrap Pub & Grill.
