This retrospective exhibition chronicles the artist's curious observation and exploration of his surroundings, the nature of his creativity, and the source of his visions, through his works.

Upcoming Exhibitions
Following in the Footsteps of the Group of Seven
May 22 to September 6, 2010
Art enthusiasts, James and Susan Waddington have a dream of identifying the exact locations that are represented in the landscapes of the Group of Seven. Passionate about the art of the Group and avid explorers of the Canadian
wilderness, the Waddingtons
set out to Killarney Provincial Park (Georgian Bay) in pursuit of the Group's excursions of some 100 years ago. Following in the Footsteps of the Group of Seven will showcase the art of Franklin Carmichael, A.Y. Jackson, A.J. Casson, Arthur Lismer, and J.E.H. MacDonald alongside present day photographs representing the iconic sceneries that continue to inspire Canadians today.
Dorothy Knowles: Land Marks
May 22 to September 12, 2010 
The Dorothy Knowles: Land Marks retrospective exhibition offers an informed overview of the landscape artist's exemplary body of work. At first glance, the artist's humble and natural subject matter can be underestimated or overlooked. However, Knowles radically chose to document her own backyard during a time when abstract art was rapidly gaining ground. This exhibition celebrates Knowles' favourite subjects - the lush river valleys and prairie landscapes that characterized her rural childhood.
