Today we're excited to celebrate our wonderful Event Sponsor, The Drake Devonshire!

We are always incredibly grateful for The Drake Devonshire’s ongoing support - now for nearly a decade! The Drake Devonshire is the fabulous host of our annual Studio Tour Kick Off Party, always providing the perfect backdrop for this special gathering for Tour artists and guests.

Situated in Wellington at the foot of Wharf street with a beautiful patio and dining room overlooking scenic Lake Ontario, the Devonshire has beautiful accommodations and delicious dining options.

A longtime champion of the arts, The Drake thoughtfully incorporates unique art installations and artistic elements throughout the property - from its rooftops to its guest rooms and beyond. The Drake Devonshire also offers artist residencies to local artists in partnership with County Arts through the collaborative artist residency program.

A sincere thank you to the Drake Devonshire team for their ongoing support!

Today we’re highlighting our wonderful Silver and Bronze Sponsors!

First, Elizabeth Crombie Real Estate Team at Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty! Elizabeth (or Libby, as she’s also known) has always been a great supporter and champion of the arts in Prince Edward County. Libby turned her passion for real estate into a full time career in 1999 with Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty in Picton, and she hasn’t looked back since!

McDougall Insurance & Financial, Eastern Ontario’s largest insurance brokerage, has been successfully operating for over 75 years. Specializing in insurance for all your needs, McDougall Insurance has always been about real people working for you.

City Revival, a staple on Picton’s Main Street, has been bringing high end gently used clothing and accessories to Prince Edward County since 1992. Open daily, you’ll find everything you’re looking for from Gap to Gucci!

Arts on Main Gallery opened in 2007, and became one of the few cooperative galleries in southeastern Ontario, devoted to showing work only by local artists. Since opening, the gallery has been a vibrant and active part of Picton’s Main Street.

The Maker's Hand, presented annually by The Prince Edward County Arts Council, is a prestigious fine craft show featuring both established and up-and-coming artists from across Ontario & Quebec.

The County Arts Lab is an artist-centred community space dedicated to artistic experimentation and creation. County Arts’ Main Street location and focus on accessibility puts the arts and artists at the heart of our community.

Green Gables Gifts & Greetings has been one of the County's most beloved shops for over 30 years. Open year round, they have a unique selection of gifts, cards, fashion accessories and toys.

We extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to these 7 amazing businesses/events for their support of the arts community here in the County!
