Port Perry Artists’ Association
Founded in 1999, the Port Perry Artists’ Association is a community of artists whose work includes a variety of forms – realistic, representational and abstract in a variety of media, including acrylic, watercolour, oil, pastel, pencil and ink.
It is the mission of the PPAA to provide an avenue for artists to develop camaraderie in a creative and respectful environment with all members contributing time and talents. To further artistic understanding and encourage artistic growth of its members in the community at large, by promoting interest, education, knowledge and skills in the fine arts. To provide the opportunity to participate and sell original and fine art in community venues and two annual art exhibits.
The PPAA provides an opportunity for artists to learn and share information, techniques and ideas. Workshops offered by professional artists further the PPAA’s commitment to artistic growth. In order to help foster and encourage the pursuit of artistic development in our community, especially our youth, the PPAA provides an annual bursary to a grade 12 art student accepted or enrolled in a postsecondary art programme.
