Prairie Horizons - Alfred H. Siemens - The sweep of Prairie landscapes has always fascinated me: subtle forms and colours reaching out to horizons almost too sharp to follow with the eye, arched over by expansive skies.
-
Mennonite Women Evolving - Bev F. Friesen and Gail Sawatzky - We are both Mennonite women in culture as well as in our faith. We were both born and raised in Southern Manitoba in a typical Mennonite community in and near Altona.

- Just Food: Right to Food from a Faith Perspective - November 20, 2010 – January 15, 2011: Food is essential for human life. It is a commodity, something to be prepared and consumed, but it is more than this. With food comes vitality, community and celebration. Without it, there is hunger, conflict and death. Hunger around the world suggests that our food systems are unjust. Is the abundant food available to some of us "just" food when others go without? For more information see CANVASs

Reymond Pagé - September 24 - November 13 : 275 Days — the exhibit — was inspired by 275 days of backpacking
around the world with my family in 2007 and 2008. This collection
of drawings, paintings and photographs is an effort to relate that experience - exploring places overrun by time, witnessing hope and determination
in faces young and old and recognizing the beauty in that which is
often overlooked or covered up. For more information see CANVASs

- In the Spirit of Humanity - June 24 to September 18
In the Spirit of Humanity is a multilayered MHC Gallery project. The
first layer was revealed in January 2009 as Manju Lodha and I had an
exhibition together in Jaipur, India. Rajasthan artist Dr. M.K. Sharma
helped make our exhibition possible at the beautiful Jawahar Kala Kendra
Art Centre. Following, Manju, Isam Aboud and I gave presentations and
led art workshops for several months in schools and adult EAL (English
as an Additional Language) programs throughout Winnipeg. Of the more
than 1,000 students who participated, nearly 500 contributed art to the In the Spirit of Humanity Student Exhibition which took place earlier
this year. Now it is the presenters turn to be featured in an exhibition. For more information see CANVASs

- The Buffalo Creek Artists - May 1 to June 19
The Buffalo Creek Artists live and work in an area
of Manitoba called Rhineland. They represent the rich culture of its
towns and villages, and the land between the Red River and the Pembina
escarpment. Exploring the enduring elements of this landscape—poplar
trees, languid creeks, scraps of old tools, crops and gardens, the whimsy
of nature, weathered faces—they mine the legacy of their Germanic
forebears, and look beyond to imagined places that would stir the root-bound
soul of past generations. For more information see CANVASs

- 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

- 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

- 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
