Wonderfall Art Show returns to Kemptville with a celebration of local creativity
The North Grenville Arts Guild (NGAG) is inviting residents to celebrate creativity and kick off their holiday shopping at the annual Wonderfall Art Show and Sale, returning next month at the W.B. George Centre on the Kemptville Campus.
The popular indoor event, taking place on November 15 and 16, 2025, will showcase original artwork from 30 local artists, featuring a range of styles and mediums including painting, photography, sculpture, and fibre art.
All artists represented at the event are members of the NGAG, which is a juried organization. Once accepted as members, artists are invited to participate in guild shows, and space for this event was allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
“The Wonderfall Art Show was established in 2022 in partnership with My Local Markets, which holds its Christmas Market on campus concurrently,” said Julie Mercier, President of the NGAG. “Since its inception, the show has seen steady growth in both attendance and artist participation, highlighting the community’s continued enthusiasm for local art.”
Whether you’re shopping for a handmade Christmas gift for someone special or simply wanting to treat yourself, this art show offers an opportunity to find meaningful and unique art, while supporting local vendors.
This year’s show will coincide with the My Local Markets Christmas Market as part of Christmas on Campus, transforming the Kemptville Campus into a festive hub of art, local goods, and community spirit.
“We hope visitors come away with a deeper appreciation for the vibrant and inclusive arts community that thrives in North Grenville. The show offers a unique opportunity to meet local artists, spark curiosity, and build connections that foster pride in our region’s creative talent,” Mercier told Lanarkist.
According to the NGAG, The Wonderfall Art Show and Sale is supported in part by a Community Grant from the Municipality of North Grenville, noting that their “ongoing investment to arts and culture continues to enrich the local community”
Event organizers noted that admission and parking are free for visitors, and the event will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.
