Inspirations From a Space of Healing is a multisite exhibition located at the Hilary House National Historic Site and the Aurora Cultural Centre’s temporary home at the Aurora Town Hall (second floor). Featuring work by artists of the Society of York Region Artists, this exhibition looks to artifacts within the Hilary House National Historic site for inspiration.

Built in 1862, Hillary House is recognized by the National Historic Sites and Monuments Board as one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architecture in Canada. It was used as a doctor’s practice and family residence for over 100 years and contains a significant collection of medical instruments, books, papers, household furnishings dating from the early nineteenth to the late twentieth century.

Join us for the opening reception of Inspirations From a Space of Healing on Saturday December 10 from 1 – 3 pm.
