Waterloo Art Grant Update


In January 2021, I won an artist grant from the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund to support creating five painting tutorials based on landscapes from the Waterloo Region. I then later donated the paintings to local businesses. You can learn more about the project and see the painting tutorials below!

Waterloo Art Grant Update

You might know that I won a Waterloo Arts fund grant of $2500 to create and publish my book Patched that is a collection of art installation photographs on trees with handmade map paper and poetry about nature. You can see the book here!

I am grateful to acknowledge the support of the Waterloo Arts Fund once again for $1600 to support a new project I will be working on in the New Year. I am excited to be able to purchase new equipment to allow me to be able to film and edit high quality acrylic painting video tutorials.

You can read more details from my project -covered in a recent newspaper article from the Woolwich Observer by Damon Maclean:

Here Is A Snippet of the Waterloo Art Grant Article:

With my background in teaching and my experience in leading art workshops, COVID-19 impacted both my art practice and ability to instruct in-person workshops. With my grant I plan on selecting five locations of different landscapes in Waterloo Region to photograph. I will create five 12” x 18” acrylic paintings on canvases to donate to local businesses in my hometown of Wellesley.

I will film myself with the help of my husband, teaching beginner painters how to paint these landscapes from the Waterloo Region in a step-by-step process. After editing these videos, they will be uploaded on my new YouTube channel – Jackie Partridge Art – that was created during the lockdown this year…  I plan on sharing the videos with local organizations like libraries to offer art educational support and free online art activities for people during these difficult times. I strongly believe and have seen the power of art to help improve the mental health of not only myself but my students.
