2023 Selected Artists
A sincere thank you to all 171 artists who submitted 300 works of art for our Annual Juried Exhibition this year!
A big thank you to our wonderful external jurors, Katie Lawson, Emmanuel Osahor, and Heather Riley, who took on the process with enthusiasm and generosity. Jurying these works was an incredibly challenging task; Katie, Emmanuel and Heather gave each piece careful and respectful consideration, and after several hours arrived at the final selection that will make up the 2023 exhibition.

2023 Jurors
Emmanuel Osahor (he/him)
Emmanuel Osahor’s practice engages with beauty as a necessity for survival and a precursor to thriving. Through a rigorously playful inquiry into materials and image making processes, his works depict garden spaces as complicated sanctuaries within which manifestations of beauty and care are present. Born in Nigeria, Emmanuel Osahor lives and works in Toronto. He holds an MFA in Studio Art from the University of Guelph (2021) and a BFA in Art and Design from the University of Alberta (2015). His work has been presented in multiple solo and group exhibitions, and is held in multiple collections. He is an Assistant Professor of Studio Art at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
Heather Riley (they/them)
Heather Riley is an artist, zinester, and arts professional currently working as Project Coordinator, Digital Collections at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery. In both their art and research, Heather is interested in examining queer histories hidden within art collections, and the ways in which queer bodies exist throughout history. They have exhibited in group shows at Visual Arts Mississauga, The Red Head Gallery, and Art Museum at the University of Toronto, and have curated shows at the Maclaren Art Centre, and Robert McLaughlin Gallery (upcoming).
Katie Lawson (she/her)
Katie Lawson is a curator and writer based in Toronto. Most recently, she was a curator for the Toronto Biennial of Art, working with Candice Hopkins and Tairone Bastien on the inaugural 2019 and 2021 editions. She has guest curated exhibitions at the MacLaren Art Centre, Barrie; Y+ Contemporary, Scarborough; RYMD, Reykjavik; the Art Museum, Toronto; the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto and Images Festival, Toronto.

Leslie Bertin
Open: February 1 – April 30, 2023
Leslie Bertin is a Newmarket-based artist who uses alcohol inks to create layered, abstract compositions. Embracing the fluidity of the medium, she allows the ink to wander unpredictably on her canvases, creating forms with a strong sense of movement.
The Town Office Gallery is programmed by Latcham Art Centre in collaboration with the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
