with artists Eden Watt and Mikael Sandblom This photography and mixed-media exhibition brings two artists together, Eden Watt and Mikael Sandblom, their work engages with the landscape in distinct yet complementary ways. One observes and records the visible world, the play of light, water, and terrain, while the other explores the act of perception itself, how vision constructs and transforms what is seen. Together, their works invite viewers to reflect on the space between the outer world and the inner experience of seeing it, where observation becomes awareness.
On display at The Gallery at L.E. Shore May 2 - June 3, 2026 | | | CULTURAL MAP
Silver Springs Farm on 6th Line Ever wonder why some places just feel like home from the second you see them? In 1884, Thomas McKinlay spent one night at a hotel in Ravenna, took a walk through the Gibraltar area, and fell head over heels for a piece of land filled with crystal-clear, flowing creeks. He called it Silver Springs, and over 140 years later, the story is still being written. Explore Silver Springs Farm and much more with TBM Cultural Map! Learn More Here | | | | HERITAGE HIGHLIGHT
