About

Mallory Tolcher is the 2019 City of Guelph Artist in Residence. Tolcher’s project, called #GuelphMovesMe, promotes physical fitness on Guelph’s trails through an outdoor art exhibition. The project began by asking the community to submit photos of individuals being physically active as inspiration for 12 hand-drawn portraits. The first set of portraits were installed at six points along the Silvercreek and Eramosa River trails at the beginning of September and the second set of 6 will be installed beginning September 16, through Culture Days.

The project ends with an artist talk and trail walk on September 29 during Culture Days weekend.
