The Seniors Art Competition and Exhibition is a showcase of creativity and technical skill among members of the Oshawa Senior Community Centres, Oshawa Public Libraries, and The Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
Featuring paintings, drawings, sculpture, and more, this annual community exhibition is structured around a competition theme and prizes are awarded in three categories: Novice, Hobby, and Open. This year, the theme is “that summer.” More information is available in the program brochure.
