The County Arts Lab is dedicated to artistic experimentation and creation. Our Main Street location and focus on accessibility puts the arts and artists at the heart of our community.
County: The Way Home features work by Julie Seddon. The exhibition touches on on two aspects of her art making practice: the photograph that captures a moment where the natural and human made world co-exist in a reflection on glass, and her painted interpretation of that image with its further abstraction and expression.
Exhibition: May 8th – June 17th, 2026
Opening Reception: May 8th, 2026, 6-8 PM

We are located at 206 Main Street, Unit 2E Picton in the historic Armoury building in downtown Picton.
The County Arts Lab is fully accessible to those entering by The Armoury’s front doors off of Main Street. There is no elevator in the building, so those entering the rear of the building via the Mary Street parking lot must use stairs to access the space.
On the weekends and evenings, visitors can park in the Armoury lot at the rear of the building on Mary Street. Otherwise, visitors can park on Main Street or in the free municipal lots on the corner of Mary and Elizabeth streets and on King Street adjacent to Benson Park. There is an accessible parking spot across the street from The Armoury as well as in front of the post office (90 meters from the front doors). For further information on parking, please click here.
