What is the Annex?

Annex is a place where you can come to relax, be creative and learn. We are a group of local business owners dedicated to expanding the art world through classes and workshops, events and a place to appreciate local talent. As a proud member of the Muskoka Arts and Crafts you will find stunning talent under our roof. Let The Cat Go Fine Art and Craft Studio, Screamy’s Ice Cream and over 20 local Muskoka Artists have come together to create this neighbourhood space. Our space can be rented for small events, parties and just a really good time.
