Art Review Quote
"No encounter has ever been more serendipitous, more entirely unlikely,
more surprising, and more exciting
than the beautiful September afternoon
when I found myself in a farmer's field
looking at a collection of Shona
stone sculputre from southern Africa."
–David Macfarlane, Globe and Mail

Directions to Rice Lake Gallery from the 401
Exit the 401 at Highway 28, Port Hope (exit number 464). Go north on 28, towards Peterborough and Bewdley. Stay on 28 for about 20 klms. Shortly after you pass a blue sign marked County of Peterborough, you will see a 50 klm speed limit sign and a sign for Bailieboro. Slow down and take the first road on your right, after the café called Doo Doo’s. It’s marked Peterborough County Road 2 and Lakeview Road. After approximately 7 klm you will come to a four way stop. (Rice Lake will be visible on your right.) Turn left and go up the hill (about 1.5 klm) turning left again just before the crest of the hill. (There’s a church which has been converted into a house on the north side.) This gravel road is the 2nd line South Monaghan Township. Take the first driveway on your left, about 1 klm from the main road. Keep going – slowly please - through the farm to the end of the driveway.
