197 Main Street Exhibition
from June 29, 2019 to June 26, 2020
Location: Varley Art Gallery
216 Main Street Unionville map
A studio plays an important role in an artist’s creative process. It is a space where artworks are created, but it is also an area for research, experimentation and contemplation. A studio can be an entire room, a single wall or even the corner of a kitchen table. Over time, the studio becomes a reflection of the artist and the place itself can influence the work produced within. During his career, Canada's famous Group of Seven Artist, F. H. Varley,
worked in over fifteen different studios. A few of these featured prominently in his life, including his last one at 197 Main Street Unionville, now called the McKay Art Centre.
In this exhibition, F. H. Varley’s basement studio is revisited through artworks, tools and objects from the period 1957 – 1969 when the artist lived in Unionville.
Inspired by photographs of the McKay Art Centre from that time, the gallery is divided into two separate areas. As you enter, furniture, original to 197 Main Street, suggests a domestic interior. Here, works by F.H. Varley are grouped according to the studios in which they were created. Behind this space, you will find a deconstructed studio with the artist’s easel, paint palette and various works in progress on display. By evoking these settings, we can better understand F.H. Varley’s works and the role of the studio in
his creative production.

Markham Little Theatre
presents
The Dixie Swim Club
Wednesday, February 12 to Saturday, February 15, 2020 at 8 p.m.
Venue: Flato Markham Theatre
171 Town Centre Blvd. map
Five Southern women, whose friendships began many years ago on their college swim team, set aside a long weekend every August to recharge those relationships. Free from husbands, kids and jobs, they meet at the same beach cottage on North Carolina’s Outer Banks to catch up, laugh and meddle in each other’s lives.
THE DIXIE SWIM CLUB
focuses on four of those weekends and spans a period of thirty-three years.
Sheree, the spunky team captain, desperately tries to maintain her organized and “perfect” life, and continues to be the group’s leader.
Dinah, the wisecracking overachiever, is a career dynamo. But her victories in the courtroom are in stark contrast to the frustrations of her personal life.
Lexie, pampered and outspoken, is determined to hold on to her looks and youth as long as possible. She enjoys being married—over and over and over again.
The self-deprecating and acerbic Vernadette, acutely aware of the dark cloud that hovers over her life, has decided to just give in and embrace the chaos.
And sweet, eager-to-please Jeri Neal experiences a late entry into motherhood that takes them all by surprise.
