Come Butterfly! It’s Late: An Exhibition by Cheryl Bailey
“Come Butterfly! It’s Late” is Cheryl’s second solo exhibition of the year. The exhibition showcases a collection of paintings inspired by native meadows and mountains, inviting visitors to aesthetically appreciate the beauty of nature’s tapestry through layers of texture in acrylics. With a background in biology, and through her artistic creations, Cheryl champions the importance of native plants to environmental sustainability and protecting pollinator populations.
FOREIGN FLWRS: An Exhibition by Nashid Chroma
Nashid Chroma is a Bengali-Canadian artist drawing inspiration from pop culture and ornate florals, with a bold saturated colour palette. Portraits of contemporary icons, mostly musicians, with flowers and embellishments partly obscuring their faces is the signature visual component found in Nashid’s art, shedding light on the phenomenon of celebrity worship in modern day society.
Aurora Arborealis: An Exhibition by Julya Hajnoczky
Exhibition: May 1st – June 1st, 2024
Julya Hajnoczky was born in Calgary, Canada, and raised by hippie parents, surrounded by unruly houseplants, bookishness and art supplies, with CBC radio playing softly, constantly, in the background. Inevitably as a result, she grew up to be an artist. A graduate of the Alberta University for the Arts, her multidisciplinary practice includes digital and analog photography, and seeks to ask questions and inspire curiosity about the complex relationships between humans and the natural world.
The Invisible Playground: An Exhibition by Miyaka Emon
Miyakah’s process begins with an impulse; an itch aimed at making what is invisible, elusive and intangible within them visible, visual and well defined. Their work comes from their gifts and unique sight as a black Neurodiverse (ADHD and ASD) person; in that way, each brushstroke is both stimming and an affixation of their innate ability to perceive and internalize the subtle, complex energies around them.
The Intensifying Storm: An Exhibition by Poonam Khanna
I am an emerging Toronto-based artist, and I discovered my love of painting seven years ago at a paint night event. Since then, I’ve been passionate about my pursuit of painting, making it an almost daily practice. I have participated in many juried shows and art fairs, including the Riverdale Art Walk, the Square Foot Show with Julia Veenstra and the Toronto Outdoor Art Fair.
