On Saturday, February 8th from noon to 3 pm MERA is proud to welcome back to Dean Hall the Lanark Life Learners. The exhibition will run all of February, please see www.meraschoolhouse.org for when the building is open.

The Lanark Life Learners is a group of home learners from all over Lanark county who love learning through every day experiences.  We also love art!  We encompass a wide age range, and our art represents an eclectic collection of mediums and styles. Our artists will display pieces including sculpture, drawing, painting, and mixed medium.   The pieces include both the abstract and the literal, many are based in nature and most are full of fantasy and imagination. 

Our group believes that art is a form of individual expression.  Art is a universal language that people of all ages, interests and backgrounds can understand.  It is a way of story telling without using words.  It can be therapeutic or just plain fun! 

Because we believe that learning happens in all moments in life, art is an amazing way to explore a wide variety of subjects and topics. 

Each artist in the group has a different personal inspiration and has had different artistic training, but they find common ground in their love for expressing themselves and experiencing life through art. 

MERA is located at 974 Conc 9A Dalhousie in McDonalds Corners, ON.
