Kawartha Art Gallery Has a New Podcast
For Immediate Release – January 20, 2026 (City of Kawartha Lakes, ON) // Kawartha Art Gallery – Kawartha Art Gallery Has a New Podcast
Art is more than what you see. It’s a journey, a process, a voice…
Each episode of Unframed offers an intimate, personal glimpse into an artist’s world through a one-on-one conversation with a featured gallery member artist. Listeners will delve into the artist’s creative process, uncover their personal inspirations, and hear the stories behind their work. Whether you're an art lover, a fellow creative, or simply curious about what fuels meaningful art, Unframed provides a rare and honest look at the lives and practices of working artists in the Kawartha Lakes and surrounding areas.
We’re kicking things off with our first two podcast episodes! Tune in twice a month for fresh conversations and inspiring stories from the artists shaping our local creative scene.
Kawartha Unframed featuring Kelly Whyte
Kelly Whyte is a local artist whose work is deeply rooted in her connection to the natural world. Inspired by the surrounding landscapes of the Kawartha Lakes, she draws creative energy from the places she explores—often hiking or paddling into remote areas that ignite her imagination. As her practice has evolved, Kelly has embraced a wide range of mediums, each offering new ways to interpret the textures, colours, and atmosphere of the natural world she loves. Join us for the first episode of Unframed as Kelly shares more about her artistic journey, the outdoor adventures that shape her work, and the creative process behind her compelling landscapes.
