   Could it be that we’ve been conditioned to live unnatural lives? Like boiled frogs? Welcome to the dark side of Tim Murton’s brain.

   ‘The Air Conditioned Nightmare’ is a social commentary using satire and dark humour, often from a place of human disconnection and isolation, to shine a black light on the underbelly of our corporate world.

   The exhibition launches on Thursday October 10th with an opening reception at 7pm in the Minarovich Gallery at the Elora Centre for the Arts, in partnership with local tavern The Porch Light. The exhibition will run during Monster Month and continue until November 17th. Admission is free.

   Tim Murton is also well known for creating the Twilight Zoo in Elora as part of the annual Monster Month events in Elora and Fergus. His “creatures” are still alive and well and are installed throughout downtown Elora for the month of October.

   Gather all ye MONSTERS!

   It’s Monster Month in Elora and everyone – and we do mean EVERYONE – is invited to join in this awesome Halloween tradition!

   The Monster March is a family-friendly, all about the fun, non-motorized parade through the core of downtown Elora.

   No matter the weather, the spirits will gather and the Monsters will roam the streets for a celebration of the best holiday on the social calendar!

   Dress up the kids! Dress up the adults! And hey, don’t forget your four-legged creatures too!

   But do take note – This year’s parade has a new start location because there will be some cool new additions to this year’s fun!

   Get your friends together and meet up at the location of One Axe Pursuits (24 Henderson Street) – where surprises will await the crowd!

   Then follow the pack as the Monster March winds its way through downtown Elora and heading to Bissell Park.

   Show off your costume in the Twilight Zoo Zone plus enjoy free hot chocolate, cider, popcorn & fruit treats at the Bissell Park Shelter.

   Please bring non-perishable food or cash donations for the Centre Wellington Foodbank to the Elora Library where they will be collected by volunteers from the Tutu In You youth group.
