“It’s one thing to make a picture of what a person looks like, it’s another to make a portrait of who they are.”
While we are likely familiar with traditional ideas of portraiture – “a pictorial representation of a person, usually showing the face”, the work presented in this juried exhibition invite you to look closer and deeper into who we are. Exploring the ups and downs (the good and the bad and everything in between) of emotions, experiences, and relationships, these portraits delve into events and situations that define the human condition.
Featuring artwork by more than 40 artists from across Ontario (and beyond), this exhibit boasts a whopping 75 artworks, occupying both the main gallery and the foyer gallery.
We invite you to “face forward” and look into our eyes and the eyes of our families, communities, and society.
