David Johnstone Kennedy and Guelph

For those who have been on the latest version of the Gwelf Early Days Tour, here are a few paintings by David Johnstone Kennedy from the Wellington County Museum.

You can see his paintings at the Guelph Art Gallery. (At the moment searching their collection is not working?)

To read more about David visit Guelph In Postcards.

To learn more about Yankee Cottage and Sunnyside I suggest going on the Guelph Arts Council's Historic walk entitled "Slopes of The Speed."

Happy JayWalking!

Live theatre in Guelph

Looking forward to animating this space in November with Lilt of Laughter, Trace of Tears written by a longtime family friend Charlene Herrold. You will love her stories. She captures the Irish voice perfectly and the tales gently coast between melancholy and joy - just like real life.

So where is this? It's The ArtBar (formerly E-Bar at The Bookshelf), 37 Quebec Street, Guelph.

It is now home to The Guelph Arts Council. JayWalking Guelph asked if he could perform this one man show here and without any hesitation they said YES.

There are only 2 performances. Sat November 18 at 7pm and Sunday Nov 19 at 2pm. Tickets are $25 per person. The show is one hour and yes there is an elevator. 

TICKETS NOW AVAILABLE HERE

The show was a hit this past summer in Collingwood. Now it's Guelph's turn.
