Press Release Body = Barrie, ON May 17, 2007 - From June 14th to September 9th,
everyone is invited to take part in this urban art experience that brings art to the

and 23 private locations, UrbanVisons07 marks the third-biennial exhibition in the
Shorelines series.



"We are very excited to announce UrbanVisions 07", said Sarah Beveridge, Gallery
Curator, "This is a highly visible exhibition of regional and national artists'
works that were carefully selected from a number of submissions, that really address
the urban space of the downtown Barrie environment, as well as the nearby
waterfront"

their work. The distribution centres of this passport will include Tourism Barrie,
