Exhibit Opening: Albert Chiardandini
2025-08-30 14:00 - 16:00 | L.E. Shore Library, Thornbury, ON, Canada
About the Artist
Albert Chiarandini was born on September 30, 1915, in the northern Italy city of Udine (Friuli-Venezia Giulia), immigrating to Toronto, Canada, in 1932 at the age of 17. While supporting his family as a construction worker, he took night classes at the Ontario College of Art, studying under Franklin Carmichael (member of the Group of Seven), Frederick Challener, John William Beatty and John Alfsen.
Albert is best known for his intimate portraits, portraying the homeless of Allans Gardens, Toronto and the 1960’s hippie scene of Yorkville, Toronto, as well as his stunning landscapes, capturing the once-rural areas of Richmond Hill, Auora, Newmarket and many other well-known neighborhoods. In 2004, a large collection Albert’s paintings were donated to the Georgina Arts Centre and Gallery in Sutton West. This major body of work is on permanent display and has been included in the book “The Group of Seven Project”, which cites Albert as “The Unknown Group of Seven Member.” In 2024, TLN Originals produced a documentary (Albert Chiarandini: The Eighth Member of the Group of Seven) exploring his life and legacy.
Albert Chiarandini passed away on December 18, 2007, in his 93rd year. Over the course of his lifetime, he produced more than 3,000 works of art.
Grand Opening
All are welcome to attend the grand opening, occurring August 30, 2025, from 2-4pm, in celebration of this remarkable artist. We are delighted to have in attendance Rudy Chiarandini, Albert’s son, whose partnership with The Gallery has helped bring this exhibition to life.

This year will be the 30th anniversary of the annual Noon Hour Series – an inclusive weekly summer celebration of music in our community. For most of the years, Georgian Shores United Church at 4th Ave and 10th Street East in Owen Sound has opened its doors each Wednesday afternoon in July and August to welcome this inclusive, multi-generational concert series.
Originally organized and developed by Joachim Ostertag with support from his family, this past two years Kelda Mikalson, a local singer and music teacher, has coordinated the series.
The organizers of the Noon Hour Series and Georgian Shores United Church believe that music is for sharing.
“If you have been shy to attend indoor concerts in the past because they seem so formal and full of mysterious rules, we’ve got you. Come and relax in the cool, eat your lunch, move to the music, cheer when you enjoy a passage, whatever feels good.”
Children are encouraged to attend. Whether you have a penny or a 50 to contribute we’d love to see you there at any or all of the concerts.
