Our Mandate

The mission of the Shoreline Artists is to respect and accept all members' artwork; to educate and encourage originality among the members; and to present art, promote art appreciation and further the advancement of all art endeavours in Saugeen Shores and surrounding communities of Bruce and Grey Counties.

Art speaks in many different ways. The Shoreline Artists bring original art in its many forms to our communities for residents’ enjoyment and enrichment. Art is a wonderful common ground for bringing our community together.

Members meet on the last Wednesday of each month to review current and future business, listen to guest speakers and share creative ideas.

In the Community

Shoreline Artists gives bursaries to deserving high school graduates of Secondary Schools of Bruce & Grey Counties who will be continuing their Art Studies in Post-Secondary institutions (college or university).  High School Graduates must apply for this Shoreline Artists' Bursary and the final decision is made by the Bursary Committee.  Since the inception of Shoreline Artists, we have promoted and supported art education and long-life learning.

To apply for a bursary please review our guidelines here.
