The Harmony Centre has become one of Owen Sound’s busiest community hubs, with everything from concerts and theatre productions to offices, workshops, and grassroots projects calling the former church home.

Each month, board member Lorraine Campbell introduces us to one of the groups or individuals making creative use of the space.

This month’s profile highlights landscape designer Margaret Curtis, whose career has taken her from fine art and floral design to film sets and, most recently, to the cover of House & Home.

Now, she’s setting down roots at the Harmony Centre in downtown Owen Sound.
