The Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre invites the community to the opening of Woodland People, a new exhibition by Saugeen First Nation artist Taylor Cameron, on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 2 to 4 p.m.

Woodland People explores the history and enduring culture of the Woodland peoples who have lived on this territory since time immemorial. Through his work, Cameron draws on archaeological knowledge and artistic practice to present authentic depictions of past lifeways, bringing fragments of history into contemporary spaces.

Cameron created the exhibition out of a passion for uncovering forgotten stories and reconnecting with the lives and teachings of Anishinaabe ancestors. His work seeks to foster understanding, build connection and support the ongoing reclamation of Anishinaabe identity.

Taylor Cameron is an emerging Woodland artist from Saugeen First Nation No. 29. His paintings use vivid colour and expressive movement to highlight the beauty of the natural world, offering new perspectives on animals, landscapes and cultural teachings. Through balanced compositions and detailed line work, Cameron’s art reflects both personal expression and cultural continuity.

“We are honoured that Taylor has chosen to share his work and perspectives at the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre this summer”, says Cathy McGirr, Director of Museum & Cultural Services. 

The opening event is free to attend and open to all, with light refreshments served. 

For more information or to RSVP for the opening event, visit the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre website or call 519‑797‑2080.

Woodland People will be on display following the opening until September 13, 2026, offering visitors an opportunity to engage with Indigenous history, artistry and storytelling through a contemporary lens.
