"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anaïs Nin

Exhibit - This Woman's Work

Our March Exhibit is inspired by musician Kate Bush's song of the same title - "This Woman's Work".  The art on display  reveals many aspects of womanhood: innocence, wonder, inner beauty, lover, creator, nurturer, teacher, healer.  We pause and are grateful for women from generations past and present who have made sacrifices in order to bring forth progress, respect and equality. We also reflect upon the many men who understand this sentiment and support the women in their lives by treating them well.

Exhibit - Reflections:The Journey - Black History Month

We believe this exhibit should inspire everyone to be themselves authentically. It should encourage us to explore the idea of "self". How do we see ourselves? How do we want to be seen? How do others see us? The idea of conformity vs. displacement. Self-image, self-awareness, selfishness and selflessness.

In reflecting on this exhibit it became apparent that all of this definition in some way speaks to the struggle for identity that we face as peoples of colour. We fold ourselves back to be perceived in an acceptable light and not be seen as "other" We create a level of "blackness" that is acceptable to society -ie "blackish" or "black-lite". However, by continually folding ourself we diminish our light. We diminish ourselves.

Canada as seen through the eye of the artist.  What determines us, as a nation, is our intimacy with the beauty that surrounds us. These artists interpret the grandeur that is Canada and capture the spirit of what it is to be Canadian.  The words of Ojibwa artist, Norval Morriseau resonate and strengthen our resolve as Canadians: “My art speaks and will continue to speak, transcending barriers of nationality, language and other forces that may be divisive.”  L.G. Daniels
