The Shoreline Artists Group
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
For many years, the Shoreline Artists have been providing a Bursary to a graduating student in the Bruce/Grey Secondary Schools that are planning to enter an art related Post Secondary Institution. In 2020 the decision was made to open this offer to students enrolled in an arts program that show a promising talent in the arts, that may not be continuing into a post-secondary program of the arts, but wish to continue with their art in other ways.
High School Students are encouraged to apply for the Shoreline Artists' Bursary
Applications will be reviewed and the final decisions 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.
