Villages of Scugog Mural Marathon Paint big. Support the arts. Celebrate our villages.
Join Scugog Arts for the Mural Marathon, a community painting event and fundraiser where participants bring to life murals about the arts, culture and heritage of the villages in Scugog. Over three days, participants work together to paint five 4 x 8 ft mural panels designed by local artists. No professional painting experience is required. This year’s murals celebrate the villages of Cadmus, Utica & Epsom, Nestleton, Prince Albert, and Manchester. Participants register for $30 and gather sponsorships to support the event. Painters can also form teams to both paint and fundraise together. Every painter raising over $150 in sponsorship receives a custom T-shirt featuring the Scugog Island Powwow mural design.
All funds raised support Scugog Arts programming and operations.
