Main Gallery
A Study in Scarlet
Taking its cue from Arthur Conan Doyle’s novel of the same name, this exhibition links together artworks along one common thread: the colour red. While seemingly straightforward, the exhibition exposes the various shades one single colour can assume, and unravels its meaning as it travels through time and space.
Intro Gallery
Janet Read
Featuring works from the series Hem of the Sea, this exhibition highlights Read’s colourful abstracted landscapes. This project is part of right here | right now, an initiative highlighting the work of artists from York Region.
