Good Earth: The Pots & Passions of Walter Ostrom - until December 31, 2021
Walter Ostrom is one of Canada's best ceramic artists. He revolutionized clay to colourful, bright maiolica and inspired generations of ceramists who follow him to this day! This exhibition explores his earliest work in stoneware and porcelain. his conceptual projects at NSCAD University, his love for gardening and his lifetime commitment to the exploration and reinvigoration of the ancient ceramic tradition of tin-glaze influenced his work.
Capacity of Wonder: Meghan Sims - Until December 31, 2021
Meghan Sims was born with a rare visual condition, Achromatopsia, which causes her to be colourblind, near-sighted and extremely light sensitive. Glass art usually emphasizes form and striking colour and so, unable to clearly see her piece, Sims relies on a sense of feel and weight-distribution of the glass on the pipe as she works, adapting to meet the challenges of glassblowing with her unique vision. In this installation, she explores her concepts of perception, light, and shadow.
In Relation - until January 9, 2022
Artists, Candice Boese and Nadira Narine, explore the people and situations that give us a sense of family in this installation.
