Discover the best places in Ontario to sketch, paint, sculpt, carve and photograph wilderness and wildlife images.

Developed in part under Ontario's popular Arts in the Wild program, an alliance of 23 arts organizations and tourism operators, this guide for the creative spirit is organized according to the province's major travel regions.

The authors discuss each region's art history, provide detailed information on unique courses and workshops available to artists, list galleries and studio tours, and profile a few of each region's most interesting professional and amateur artists. Also included is a special look at Ontario's Native art and artists. The guide is richly illustrated, with color photographs of scenic locations throughout Ontario and pictures of artists in their studios.

The result is an inspiring "where-to" book for any visual artist with a love of nature.

Summary: Group Opinion
Comment: Finding this book to be a joy visually, I have shared it with my close group of fellow artists. As well as being inspirational to just mull over, it has been a fine source of information for future road trips to galleries and scenery for photo ops. With a friend not an artist, but with a history of canoeing Eastern Ontario,I have shared ideas of placs to try to find. I keep the book at hand, so I can refresh my spirit in its pages on a dreary winter day. I first heard of the book in an author's interview on CBC radio, and hence looked for it on the internet.
