Keeping Dreams
"The Women’s Art Association of Canada (WAAC) presents Keeping Dreams, an evocative group exhibition poised to unravel the intricate tapestry of resilience and the pursuit of happiness. Set to grace the walls of WAAC’s Dignam Gallery in Toronto from March 22 to April 13, 2024, this group show brings together artists from across Ontario from diverse backgrounds and disciplines exploring the depths of human experience. From personal narratives of triumph over adversity to symbolic representations of endurance, artists unveil their stories through painting, photography, mixed media, video, sculpture, and more.
Artworks in Keeping Dreams stimulate an open space for dialogue, reflection, and connection, where diverse perspectives converge to illuminate the strength inherent in the human spirit. Visitors are welcome to consider their journeys of resilience, find solace, and understanding for one another, and inspiration in the power of storytelling through art."- WAAC

Urban Futurities
"Cold metal construction cranes loom over neighbourhoods by the dozens. Gentrification rubs up against inter-generational communities pushing people to downsize. Artists flee the urban centres towards affordability in outlying regions. Tent cities crop up in underpasses and clusters of trees on the edges of the parks. Urban populations are experiencing precarity on all levels. Politicians wring their hands and spew broken promises from glass towers. Inflation, the housing crisis, and gentrification are calling into question the future of our global cities. Affordability, rising food costs, skyrocketing rents and real estate development are pushing people to the margins. Urban Futurities gives us a creative window into the housing crisis through art and imagination. There is a way our cities can thrive. There are solutions. There are viable alternatives to the direction we are moving in. This exhibition aims to think through how we can imagine an equitable future for citizens in which urban centres are healthy and livable places for us all. " Ilene Sova

"In an age where everything is being questioned; gender and sexuality, family dynamics, self-identity, relationship expectations, religion, politics, careers, lifestyle, and even geography; there is an incredible amount of room for interpretation and freedom within this exhibition. The most important thing is that the art reflects each artist’s thoughts and feelings on growing up in this time of great societal change."
