  • In the Spirit of Humanity - Student Exhibition - March 12 - April 24:
    In the Spirit of Humanity celebrates and reflects the increasingly multicultural face of Canada, of our city, Winnipeg. Manju Lodha, Isam Aboud and Ray Dirks have spent the past several months traveling from school to school, offering multimedia presentations and art workshops to students from grades one to 12 and to newcomers in adult English as an Additional Language programs, from the inner city to the suburbs. There have been smiles, laughs and tears. There has been spontaneous singing and dancing. For more information see CANVASs V. XIII #2 [395KB PDF file]
  • Photography exhibitions by Pamela Leach and Sam Baardman - January 22, 2010 - March 6, 2010
    Water — flowing, stagnant, frozen, thawed, pristine, polluted, winding, pooling, searching, finding — dominates two photography exhibitions opening on January 22. Pamela Leach, a professor at Canadian Mennonite University, happened into being a photographer, pulled by the recurring pooling of an urban puddle and all that it represents to her. Sam Baardman, a professional in various artistic pursuits, including photography, came to the gallery’s attention through the recommendation of artist and friend Bob Haverluck. The photographers do not know each other but their themes stream together, causing viewers thoughts to flow from weedy puddle to shoreline to greater depths. For more information see CANVASs V.

  • Installation and other art by Ruth Maendel - November 20, 2009 - January 16, 2010. Ruth’s art is not bound by any particular medium. It might be something that can be hung on the wall. It might be freestanding. It might be a complicated installation that took an eternity to map out and as long to put together. It might be something sublimely simple. It may include fabric, paint, metal, wood, ceramics, beads or… Regardless, whatever it is she creates, each piece has the same values and faith at its core. For more information see see CANVASs V.
