An overview of arts in Haliburton County and the meaning of art

Abstract

Part one of this paper explores the meaning of "art" and attempts a definition of the term by exploring various types such as folk art, decorative art, and craft before moving to a general overview of the arts in Haliburton County. The history and organization of the Haliburton Highlands School and Guild of Fine Arts is presented as well as a look at the art community itself and the characteristics of Haliburton that lend it desirability as a locale for artistic endeavour. In Part two, the author presents three local artists and their work.
