Mckay Arts Centre

edit this listing
The Town of Markham is proud to claim as their own the historic Kathleen McKay/Salem Eckhardt house, recently restored to its original splendour. The house dates to the 1840's and was the home of Frederick Horsman Varley during the last 12 years of his life. In his studio on the lower level of the house, Varley created various portraits and landscapes inspired by the surrounding area. Now used for community art exhibitions, local artists rent the main level of this beautiful Victorian-era home to showcase their work. Ideally located on picturesque Main Street Unionville, the McKay Art Centre attracts art lovers, tourists, history buffs and locals alike. The studio in the lower level, Varley's original studio, is currently used for art classes for both adult and children year round. The gardens have been meticulously restored and will open to the public in the fall of 2008. For information about renting the McKay Art Centre please contact the Varley Art Gallery at 905-477-9511 ext, 223.
