The artists had an opportunity to explore the Dumoine River, create various works of art, share stories and become inspired by this magnificent landscape. Their art will be displayed at Art Brûlant and Impressions in Shawville, Quebec from October 7-21, 2017 and can also be viewed on our website. Proceeds from our CPAWS Soiree – An evening with Robert Bateman and Ian Tamblyn will support CPAWS-OV’s wilderness conservation efforts including protecting Quebec’s Dumoine, Noire and Coulonge rivers and securing legislated protection for Gatineau Park. See you there!
