The Huntsville Art Crowd (soon to be Huntsville Art Society) is an exciting and active club with over 100 enthusiastic members who share their artistic skills and knowledge in a rewarding fellowship. Our member artists work in all types of media. This dynamic group is comprised of a full range of skills; from full-time professionals to creative individuals who are just beginning. Our membership includes artists primarily from Ontario, Canada. We host numerous club events such as community art shows and sales, and skills sharing workshops which are held primarily in the Muskoka Ontario Region. The Huntsville Art Crowd is a proud sponsor to a variety of community support groups. We combine the exhibition of our members’ works with fundraising activities, resulting in significant contributions to charitable organizations throughout Muskoka.

Our Featured Artist:

Marc DeGroote
 (shown at work in "image2" above)

Artist Statement:
“I am a self taught realist artist, greatly influenced by the beauty of nature”.
The extreme detail created in the natural world is beyond comprehension.

My primary objective is to capture that detail with the intent for viewers to contemplate these familiar visions from a different vantage point of being one with nature”.

I love pushing the boundaries of art to the realistic detail that can only be found when we step away from the challenges and tensions of our times and look closely at the beauty of the natural world that too many have never seen or experienced. The vast and rapid disappearance of some of nature’s most beautiful animals is a catastrophe that we all suffer.

As you can see in his picture of the owl above, Marc's work is finely detailed, realistic and very compelling.
