The forerunner of Before the Summer, called Art at the Inn, was held in 2016 and 2017 at the Gananoque Inn. Two years later, the venue changed to the Firehall Theatre and the show was re-titled Before the Summer. 2025 would have been our tenth anniversary, had we not been forced to cancel two shows because of COVID 19! We may have to wait two more years before celebrating our tenth show, but in the meantime we will continue to bring excellent painters and artisans from around Ontario to Gananoque each spring, and hope that you will come and enjoy the products of their creativity with us, and perhaps take home a new piece or two to brighten your home after a long, cold winter.
