GBACA Annual Christmas Show & Sale
Collingwood Public Library, 55 Ste. Marie Street, Collingwood, ON
GBACA is an Art Association created in the early 1980′s by the Blue Mountain School of Landscape Painting. They wanted other artists to know what was happening in their own “world of art”. It was hoped that the artists might create various art activities. Surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Georgian Bay and the Blue Mountains, this rapidly growing group of talented artists now has regular shows which allow the GBACA members an opportunity to display and sell work to the public. Our current membership is 170 talented artists. GBACA also sponsors an annual show and sale each August in Collingwood, Ontario. This popular art and craft event attracts exhibitors and art lovers from all over Ontario (see “Events” page).

Betty Bishop says she started painting in oil when she retired and considers herself a glorified Sunday painter. She is basically self-taught, although she studied at the Art Students’ League in New York for six months. Betty says her main claim to fame was to be included in the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition in 1995 and to have had a painting hung in the lobby of the Chelsea Hotel in New York in 1993.
Betty moved to Collingwood in 2010 and has been doing life drawing at Go Figure and has recently joined the Marsh Street Painters in Clarksburg. She says that Collingwood is a great place to live if you are interested in painting as there are many wonderful artists here and they are more than willing to share their knowledge.
