“This exhibition features artists from both Canada and the US which came from a call for artists we posted 6months ago. We do this on occasion so we could bring some new artists to our gallery and to share the perspective of these artists in our City.
And even though we live in an age of advanced technology and AI, all the artists featured in this exhibitioncut paper and use glue to make their artwork.
Collage is often thought of as a modern artistic technique. The word collage – from the French verb coller, meaning “to stick” – was first used to describe the Cubist innovations of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, who began to stick newspaper cuttings and other materials onto their canvases in 1912.
A Collage Exhibition Featuring Zanahoy, John Catron, Sarah Grant Duff, Torea Frey, Jack Procter, Evie Osborn, Seema Shah, Chris Short, and Geoff Wonnacott."

“Diamonds are the gemstone assigned to the 10th anniversary, as they symbolize longevity, invincibility, and love - so artworks that fit those themes, and Dartmouth, may be given preference but all types of work are welcome.”

"Repurposed Perspectives including artists Andrea Crouse, Kevin MacLean, zanahoy and more.
The show will be works from a collection of artists using repurposed materials. During Covid-19 many of us were impacted by the availability of products and services and stalled supply chains. Suddenly the grand parent or elder we knew that collected and saved the smallest of things which we may have thought to not be useful, suddenly started to make sense. This group of artists save every scrap, every piece and make something new and beautiful from it. "

“ The title of our current show at the gallery, 'Under the Influence', is likely to elicit some sort of curiosity and interest. for this juried show, artists were asked to create new works that take inspiration from their favourite artists. the results are amazing and there are so many unique in styles, mediums and approach! a feast for the eyes! ”
zanahoy's selected submission for the show, was a piece titled ‘Dante’s Dark Forest’. Its a collage of several infamous engravings made by Gustave Doré (1832- 1883). It feature the portrait of Dante the Poet, with his minds eye turned inward towards the Inferno's main character, Dante the Pilgrim.
