June 02 - Lunch at the Globe: Pat Burns & Jim Lorriman



Pat and Jim will again tantalize us with their art and reveal plans for two outstanding shows that will be held at the Dufferin County Museum & Archives (DCMA).

Pat Burns will talk about the second Stitches Across Time Exhibition (September 12 - November 9, 2014), a celebration of the skills of Canadian weavers and fabric artists from across Canada.

She will also reveal details of a fashion show/lunch to be held on September 21 at the DCMA.

Jim Lorriman will also open a show at the DCMA on September 12 (running until October 26).

The show is entitled History in the Making. Jim will show works where he has used pieces of wood with a past that tell stories of their uses many years ago. One of the Byford treasures is a set of bowls created from the wood of our original house.

Jim’s great gift to Theatre Orangeville was a selection of wood serving dishes crafted from the old seats of the theatre.

May 19 - Dog Save the Queen



The Queen’s Birthday is always a time to celebrate, but we here at the DCMA offer our visitors just a titch more.

Queen Victoria, who reigned for 64 years, was a supporter and owner of dogs and is often blamed for having 'spoiled' the collie breed by her patronage. While Victoria's collies were pets and not working dogs, they were not by any stretch of the imagination the show collies of today.

During this event we will pay homage to the animal that won the Queen’s heart, the dog. Bring
your furry family members by for a proper British ceremony with tea service and nibbles for both humans and pets.

We will be displaying the DCMA collection of Queen Victoria memorabilia.

Dog Save the Queen
Monday, May 19
12 noon

Free admission to celebrate May Museum Month!
