"Landscapes and Dreamscapes" by Kevin Harper
Scugog Arts presents: ‘Landscapes & Dreamscapes’ by Kevin J Harper. This exhibition challenges the established distance between realistic and dreamlike scenarios by incorporating dreamlike works amongst the more realistic nature of Kevin J Harper’s older work. Harper aims to lessen this distance through the relationship between the real and imagined snapshots of the everyday and mundane world we live in. As a mostly self-taught artist, Kevin J Harper finds solace in painting and drawing as it continues to be a central source of play, rejuvenation & transformation for him.
This exhibition will run from October 11 to November 11, with the artist reception on Oct 18th from 1-3pm. Meet the artist, enjoy light refreshments and experience Kevin Harper’s work in a bright space full of creative energy!

Firehouse Fright Night 2025
The 18th annual Firehouse Fright Night trail of terrors inside the huge corn maze at Watson Farms again! Dare to enter a space teeming with spooky creatures for this year's theme - "Courtice's CarnEvil!" Check out our spooky theme reveal trailer when it lands here later in September!
Interactive, story-driven trail (about 30 mins to walk through)
Spooky Wagon Ride from the park lot down to the maze!
Over 30 scenes spread across 100,000 square feet of field
80+ characters that will seek you out as you travel
Safety Note -> Loud sounds, strobe lights, fog, and other special effects in use!
Great for all ages and especially for families (and date nights!)
Snacks/treats (giant cookies, candy apples, etc) for sale at the exit just $3ea or 2/$5
Parents - you know best what your kids enjoy for a good scare. We have seen kids age 5 and less who are fascinated and love the experience, and we have seen teens who can't make it past the clowns (oh yes, there will be creepy clowns folks!) We leave it to you to decide if its the right fit for your kids. We do also provide a "magic" word just before you enter; something you can shout out to scare the monsters back...a little bit.
This event wouldn't be possible without the exceptional, generous support of Watson Farms and Paul Watson in particular. Thank you for hosting our monsters year after year!
You buy 1 ticket per person, for a booked time.
Discounted prices are shown for buying 4 or more tickets!
Like every year, we absorb the service fees!
Compare us to other events - we are 35% to 80% less expensive than any other spooky event out there, but with the a huge and uniquely interactive experience!
You will be sent in as a group (max of 6 at a time)
If you have more than 6 in your party, we will split you into multiple groups at the trail entrance
If you are less than 6 in your party, we will send smaller groups in as one larger group
Tickets are sold online only for booked times.
It is CRITICAL you arrive 20 minutes before your time. Example, if your ticket is for 7:00 - 7:10pm, you must arrive by 6:40pm. This is because we cannot just "slip you in" if you are late. It would push everyone else out of their time slot and that is not fair to them. There are no refunds if you are late.
Your ticket will come to you as an E-mail, and you need to bring that on your cell phone (or printed) so that we can scan them when you arrive.
Please make sure you have a ticket for EACH person in your group. Your ticket can only be used once. No ticket, no entry.
The trail is NOT considered accessibility-themed. This is a corn field, with uneven ground, corn stalks and cobs on the ground. While a wheelchair can fit through the width of the trail, wet weather and other conditions would make it difficult for persons needing any kind of mobility assistance to navigate. You may wish to come, but understand it can be difficult to to traverse!
By booking times, we are keeping the number of people in line at a minimum, reducing your wait time to enter
For your safety - there is no touching the monsters, pushing, crawling or running inside the maze
Loud sounds, strobe lights, fog and other special effects in use
Port-o-Potties are available on site
The Firehouse Youth Centre is one of three youth drop-in spaces of the Clarington Youth Centres program, run by the John Howard Society of Durham Region.
