This exhibition offers artists working in all media the opportunity to have their work evaluated by three visual art professionals serving as jurors. This year we received over 200 submissions, 34 of which were selected for display. The public can discover a variety of artwork exploring ideas and themes by contemporary artists from all over Ontario while the Curator has the chance to engage with hundreds of Ontario-based artists.
A special thank you to our wonderful jurors, Tanya Cunnington, Liz Ikiriko, and Lee Petrie, who dedicated their time, energy, and expertise to thoughtfully selecting the pieces for our 2025 exhibition. Jurying these works was an incredibly difficult task that these three took on with dedication and enthusiasm.

Andrea End
Open: Tuesday, February 18 – Wednesday, April 30, 2025
Andrea End’s captivating large-scale paintings depict light rippling across the surface of water. These pieces are complimented by intimate prints of forested areas, which reflect on the loss of the diverse habitats that they portray. Together these two series of artworks remind us of the restorative power and fragile beauty of nature.
