Every month a new local artist's work is featured in the main hall at MERA - a community arts organization in McDonalds's Corners in Lanark Highlands. You can catch the end of the October art exhibition at MERA before it comes down on October 31: Paintings & Portraits by local farmer, Rosemary Kralik. MERA receives 20% of all art sales for the exhibitions. Encouraging local artists and musicians is part of MERA's mandate.

The November art exhibit features “Fenceline and Shoreline" - landscape and heritage drawings by Michael Neelin There will be an opening at MERA on Sunday November 2nd from 2 pm - 4 pm

In his realist graphite pencil drawings, Michael seeks to capture and share moments out of time from the Ottawa Valley’s rich natural landscape and built heritage. Before moving to Lanark Highlands with his wife Lyndal earlier this year, Michael was active in the Pontiac Artists’ Association and Pontiac Studio Tour, with solo and group shows in Western Quebec and Ottawa. His artistic exploration of our region’s hidden treasures dovetail perfectly with his academic background in architectural history and his professional life as a designer of custom timber-frame homes.
