The Georgian Bay Invitational Art Show 2025

The 2025 Georgian Bay Invitational Art Show

Every summer Trestle Brewing Company hosts an invitational art exhibit featuring local artist called The Georgian Bay Invitational Art Show. At Trestle, we think of our walls as public art space. We do not charge a hanging fee or a commission on sales. All sales go directly to the artist and our role is to connect art buyers with artists. Every month throughout the year our displays change and we provide opportunities to new artists and artist groups like the Parry Sound Photography Club.

As a reminder, the images below do not accurately represent the fantastic colours, composition, and size of the actual artwork. It is best to visit the brewery in person for appreciation of these works.

Please contact the artist to arrange for any purchase of artwork. Please note that the art must remain in place for the period of the show.

Show - June 29 - September 28, 2025

Jean Grady

Jean Grady is a London based artist who captures the rugged allure of the big open skies, lakes, and trees of the northern Ontario landscape with a distinctive impressionistic style. Jean is mesmerized by the intricate patterns of light and shadow in the woods and the sky’s reflections on the surface of the water. She paints from personal connections and experiences, often framing her paintings from her perspective in a kayak, giving the viewer a chance to feel like they, too, are on the water. Jean prefers acrylics for the freedom to maintain a fresh style with vivid colours and a broad value range, enabling her to create art that is joyful, full of bold harmonies and detailed with a whimsical touch of magic. Jean hopes her paintings give people a feeling of joy and peace.
