Gallery tips for Barrie

A few things worth knowing before you work through Barrie's art galleries:

• Take the long way through at Mill Street Art Studio. Galleries reward slow looking. One extra lap always reveals something the first pass missed.
• Go to opening nights at Camphill Store. Free entry, the artists in the room, and a crowd that wants to talk about the work. The best gallery experience there is.
• Ask about the price list. It's normal to ask, even if you're not buying. It tells you how the market values the work.
• Check the gift shop. Prints, artist books, and the occasional affordable original. The gift shop funds the programming.
