In 2020, the Huntsville Festival of the Arts (HfA) celebrated the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Group of Seven Artists through this very Canadian project. Huntsville artist Gerry Lantaigne, known for his work on the Group of 7 Outdoor Gallery, created 7 new murals, each painted on the underside of a canoe and featuring the work of one the Group of 7 members. These murals celebrate the role of the Group of Seven and the canoe in shaping Canada’s national identity. Throughout June 2022, these canoes will be featured in the Huntsville ArtCrawl for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you to those whose donated their used canoes for this project, and all those who offered their canoes. We are fortunate to live in such a giving community!
Venue: River Mill Park
