Maclaren Art Centre

11:00 am to noon
Come to the Barrie Farmer's Market for a children's parade!

In July, artist Andrew Hunter worked with children from the Barrie area during Art Quest, a MacLaren summer arts camp, to create lake-monster costumes based on Hunter's research for his project The Burden of Proof. Hunter will lead the group in this public parade.

About the exhibition, The Burden of Proof
This narrative project by Waterloo artist, writer and curator Andrew T. Hunter focuses on a fictional character, Andrew Herbert Hunter, who acts as a bridge between himself and historical Barrie figure Andew Frederick Hunter (1863-1940). A.F. Hunter was a leading Simcoe County historian, archaeologist and publisher whose serious academic research and writing is a counterpoint to the artist's historical fictions. Rooted in local history, folklore and storytelling and developed through a community collarboration, The Burden of Proof attempts to demonstrate the existence of an imaginary lake monster residing in Kempenfelt Bay.
