The Paddle Project 2026
A gala fundraiser event for White Water Gallery! 100 paddles. 100 artists. 1 unforgettable event where art makes waves.
White Water Gallery (WWG) is pleased to announce The Paddle Project 2026, taking place March 28, 2026 at the North Bay Museum.
This one-night exhibition and auction brings together local and regional artists each transforming canoe paddles into original works of art; part sculpture, part painting, part Northern storytelling. The result is the transformation of canoe paddles, objects designed to explore water, into works that explore form, surface, and meaning. Each piece reflects Northern Ontario’s relationship to place, movement, and making.
Why paddles?
An object made to explore water is reimagined as a platform for artistic exploration. Canoe paddles are transformed by local and regional artists into tactile, sculptural works, each one navigating the space between function and art, utility and expression.
Join us at the gala for art, food, drinks, friends, and fun, with paddles sold through ticketing and via live auction.
