'Nutum' by internationally renowned sculptor Ron Baird
Nutum by sculptor Ron Baird stands outside the Latcham Gallery in Stouffville, Ontario, a gallery that features the original works of artists who paint, draw, sculpt, photograph or work in mixed media.
A volunteer gardener beneath 'Nutum' cleans up for spring
The Latcham Gallery opened in 1980 and since then has presented more than 260 exhibitions by Ontario artists. I'm not allowed to take photos inside the gallery or I'd show you some of what's currently being shown.

I love the shadow on the wall of these photos!
Modern art. We have the Contemporary Art Museum here in Cincinnati with a great deal of modern art to explore.
This is an interesting piece of contemporary art with a curious name that no doubt has special meaning. The shape of the large sculpture reminds me of a bird … perhaps a heron with its long neck and legs. :)
That's a strange one. Reminds me of the duck dunking for water.
Cool sculpture. Too bad you can't take pictures, would have loved to see inside.
Contemporary sculpture is fascinating, as is this one in your photos.
I love spotting public art. Some of it isn't all that appealing but the encouragement and inspiration to others to create is always there.
Very interesting!!
I wonder what Nutum means and I hope that is not what you use it for. LOL MB
Interesting sculpture. I love Small City Scenes's comment.
I love it!
that's an interesting sculpture! I like the colours in these photos.
Great shots but it really seems that the pole holding the sculpture could be a bit shorter so that the piece wasn't so visually detached from the ground.
Too bad you can't take pictures but it sounds like the works are on loan.
the shadows on the wall caught my eye first. it's an interesting piece of sculpture.
Beautiful piece of art. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Quite a 'happening' place, where you live. So much choice for visits and outings.

I guess it´s a lovely and interesting place. Please have a great week.
Sounds like a great place! Really interesting piece of art! Too bad you can't take shots inside! Hey, and great shadows as well!! Have a wonderful week!

I cannot understand why they don't allow photography inside.
There are some museums in SF that allow photography only on permanent collections. On the visiting exhibits, it's a no-no.
Birdman, you took the words out of my mouth. It is an interesting piece of work. It is interesting how some galleries will let you take photos and some won't. Thanks for sharing.

Great shadows on the wall.
I would like very much to visit this place - it must be really exciting :)

What a fascinating piece of sculpture. I love that the gardener is a volunteer.

This is the place which I want to visit. Watching artworks all day long must be refreshing.The gardner perfectly gets part of the scenery. I love it.
Wierdum!
I love seeing the worlds of others.
This is an interesting piece. It would be nice to see the exhibits inside.
What an unusual sculpture!
That is a beautiful sculpture
I like to stroll around a gallery: it's a relaxing pastime. I wonder what "Nutum" means. Seeing from its look resting on a vantage point, it could be a bird, maybe imaginary bird? This arouses interstes. Thank you for sharing.
Very modern and interesting sculpture!

Like many who commented, my first thought was a bird. I like the photo that includes the gardener so I get a feeling for just how large this piece is.

I rather like the sculpture...but I wonder what "nutum" means and what it is supposed to represent...
You're fortunate to have such a wonderful gallery there in Ontario.
It looks like an interesting place, though I'm neutral about this particular piece. But that's the point of art, isn't it? Different things for different people. And museums and galleries to explore them all.
