Guided Art Walks
🌿New for 2026🌿
A new curated tour with our enthusiastic Art Walk Guides. Find out about art activities, the new Stamp Hunt (with a fun prize at the end), and learn some heritage history along the way. Make the most of your visit as you discover new artists and 100’s of original artworks.
Starts at 11:30 a.m. Free, but spaces are limited—reserve your spot early!
The vision of including as many artists of all ages, experience and ability at the Art In My Garden event has been realized through Hanging in Harmony - our community outreach project.
The 2026 theme is ‘JOY IN NATURE’
COMMUNITY ART PROJECT
Last year, over 250 individual artworks were created and displayed in the gardens of the Oakville Museum. They shared our various perspectives based on a suggested theme. Together, the resulting artworks were woven with belonging and rooted in community.
Within 12 months they have been shown in public twice, including a 4 month display at the Queen Elizabeth Park Community Cultural Centre (QEPCCC), amplifying the sense of community from the event.
View the 2025 work at QEPCCC from May 9th, 2026.

We need volunteers! Every year our volunteers help us in August by hand delivering our event flyers to homes across Oakville. It’s a great opportunity for students to pick up community hours or for local residents to help out on the day.
