Fall Exhibition Launch 2023

Join us in welcoming a new season of exhibitions at the Art Gallery of Guelph!

Sep 21.2023

Time

5:30pm - 7:30pm

Location 358 Gordon St Guelph, ON N1G 1Y1

Price Free

Join us on Thursday, September 21, at 5:30 pm, for the launch of the Art Gallery of Guelph’s fall summer season of new exhibitions: Kept Alive Within Us, Carl Beam: Pieces of a Puzzle, The Third Scenario, and Seeing the Land, Feeling the Sea.

Together, these four exhibitions highlight the depth and diversity of different cultural histories and experiences including those of Indigenous, African Caribbean, and Asian-Canadian communities. Because the artists in each exhibition share their own personal stories through visual expression, collectively the exhibitions speak to how experiences and identities develop within both local and global contexts.

All welcome; refreshments will be served.
