Rideau Artist of the Year - Competition Winners

Almost 20 regional artists were challenged to complete an original piece of artwork in the style of en plein air during the July 25 Smiths Falls Big Art Walk. Using downtown Smiths Falls and the Rideau waterway as their inspiration, each artist had up to 12 hours to complete their works and submit them
to the panel of three art jurors for review.

This year the museum presented a tie for Rideau Artist of the Year!

Carleton Place artist Heidi Sinnett won for her ink and watercolour piece of the Smiths Falls Public Library entitled, Inkformation.

Westport artist, Lorraine Gravelle shared the title and prize for her acrylic painting titled, Lest We Forget.

The second-place winner was Makenna Cleaver, for her work, Mother’s Morning.

This year, the museum awarded an Honorable Mention to Ryan Hill of Ottawa for his acrylic and oil entry titled, Streetside.

This diverse showcase of local talent from the competition will be on display for the public at the Smiths Falls Heritage House Museum, Wednesday - Sunday 10:30 am - 4:30 pm until October 4, 2026.

See you at the Museum!
