Events

The Muskoka Discovery Centre in Gravenhurst is hosting Artist Life Stories – Speaker Series with a Twist. Tickets $60 person for an intimate evening with Canadian Artists. Each event is like a perfectly mixed cocktail. Two parts conversation, one-part live music, one-part question and answer and splashed with a dash of the unexpected. Each evening includes 2 – 40 interview sets and ends with a post-show meet and greet. And everyone comes away with the story behind the artist.
