Walking in the Footsteps of Rosa and Spencer Clark

The Clarks’ Guild Inn, 1950s.

What do the Guild of All Arts, Guild Park's remarkable architectural collection and Guildwood Village have in common? Rosa and Spencer Clark.

Join Friends of Guild Park on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 1 to 2 p.m. for a special walking tour exploring the extraordinary legacy of the couple who founded the Guild of All Arts, rescued more than 55 architectural façades and features from demolished buildings and went on to create Guildwood Village.

Starting at the Sculptor's Cabin, we'll explore a remarkable story of art, architecture, preservation and community-building — and see some of that legacy for ourselves, including the Clark Centre for the Arts, the structure named to honour the philanthropic couple.

For collectors, a limited number of copies of The History of the Guild Inn, by the late Carole Lidgold, will be available for sale.

Sat. Oct. 3 | 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. | Starts at the Sculptor's Cabin
