RETURN TO SENDER
2022-04-30 - 2022-07-09
This exhibition features original prints from international artists. A result of two separate mini-print exchanges organized by the PRNT Collective of Barrie, Ontario.

RETURN TO SENDER – 2019
Twenty six international printmakers created min-prints of 1.75 inch square. Modelled after the tradition of stamp collecting, these original prints were posted around the globe.

EXPEDITION – 2021
During the global pandemic of 2020/21, a group of international printmakers investigated the freedom a passport brings in light of restricted travel. Twenty-one artists responded – from Europe and North America

25th Annual International Women’s Day Art Show

The International Women’s Day Art Show invites women artists to participate in an annual art exhibition inspired by International Women’s Day (March 8).
Our main goal is to encourage women to express themselves artistically in a themed group show, which is not juried and therefore inclusive of all abilities, experience and orientations. The spirit of the exhibit is one of affirmation and co-operation.
As the show evolves and we celebrate 25 years of expression and exhibition, artists were encouraged to embrace the challenge of interpreting the theme “Life Lines” through both their art and story.

COLOUR WITH A U

Curated by Tracey Lawko

Colour with a U is a juried exhibition of 35 art quilts on the theme of diversity and inclusion by Canadian members of Studio Art Quilt Associates. In Canada, we spell colour with a “u”. We care about the “u”, it makes us unique. We care about the “you”, it brings us together. Thirty-five artists have reflected on the theme of diversity and inclusion to give “colourful” representations of our Canadian cultural identity. Each offers an individual perspective on how we as Canadians see ourselves in our social, historical and physical landscape.

Opening Reception Saturday January 29 from 1-3 p.m.
