INCLUSION

The theme for the exhibition is ‘Inclusion’, and challenged artists to consider what the term means to them through an artistic and creative lens. The notion of “inclusion” is the practice or policy of providing equal access to opportunities and resources for people who might otherwise be excluded or marginalized. This newest call of the Stack Gallery invited artists to think critically about what it means to be inclusive as individuals and in the community. These final works, represent a compilation of artistic interpretations on the theme of inclusion.

About the Stack Gallery:
The Orillia Recreation Centre (ORC) is home to the Stack Gallery, an exhibit space designed primarily for two-dimensional works of art curated by the Art in Public Places Committee.
The Gallery, along with many architectural features throughout the building, is designed to honour the site’s industrial past as a manufacturing hub for Otaco Ltd. (Orillia Tudhope Anderson Company). The company produced a wide variety of products over the years, from farming implements to undercarriages to Minnitoys for nearly a century.
Today, the ORC brings a renewed vibrancy to this location in the heart of downtown Orillia. The Gallery is part of this vibrancy and is accessible throughout the day during regular business hours. Visit the ORC’s webpage for its hours of operation.
Many of the works within the Gallery are priced for sale and can be purchased directly from the artists. Please inquire at the front desk or call 705-330-6479. Note: As a curated show, any items purchased from the Gallery must remain in the exhibit until its closing.
The Stack Gallery is managed by the Orillia Museum of Art & History, under the guidance of the Art in Public Places Committee, on behalf of the City of Orillia.
