Scugog Arts presents: ‘Guard Me, Oak Tree’ by Ashley Gringhuis Scugog Arts presents: ‘Guard Me, Oak Tree’ by Ashley Gringhuis
Artist Reception: July 4th, 2026, 1PM-3PM
Show Running:
July 4th – August 3rd
268 Queen St, Port Perry, ON L9L 1B8
This exhibition brings together Ashley Gringhuis’ work which focuses on the natural world as an escape, solace, protector, and connection. As we attempt to navigate this chaotic and often overwhelming world, retreating into an environment of growth, rot, evolution, and transmutation can bring life into a different perspective. These works depict figures interacting with the natural world in a variety of ways: some are immersed in it, shielded by it, and others disappear back into the landscape as their bodies are used as a natural vessel for growing foliage. While the works convey a sense of peacefulness, they also carry an underlying tension and subtle anxiety, hinting at the chaos of the world lingering just beyond the edges of the compositions
Come and experience Ashley Gringhuis’ expression of the concept of Self through stunning self-portraiture and breathtaking floral symbolism at Scugog Arts Space on July 4th from 1-3pm.
All are welcome! 10:00am - 05:00pm

Craft Circle at the Oshawa Museum
Calling All Crafters!
The Oshawa Museum is hosting a craft circle for all ages on the last Sunday of each month. Bring your latest work in progress and hang out with museum volunteers and other like-minded crafters. This is the perfect chance to try something if you’re new to handicrafts or solve a mystery, like how to actually fix slipped stitches and how the heck to hold a crochet hook properly.
This is a free experience, but the Oshawa Museum always welcomes donations. Come to Guy House, the yellow museum building in Lakeview Park, between 12:30 and 3:30 pm.
Dates are subject to change due to holidays or museum events.
12:30pm - 03:30pm
