The Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre is starting the new year with a group exhibition featuring a diverse selection of artworks by professional artists from
Niagara-on-the-Lake.
Running to March 24 in its Joyner Gallery, the NOTL Arts Collective Group Exhibition will showcase the exceptional creativity of its member artists, says a Pumphouse news release.
Expressing anticipation for the upcoming exhibition, Pumphouse art director Rima Boles emphasizes the significance of this annual event as it enters its third year. “This show has become a reflection of the vibrant artistic pulse thriving within Niagara-on-the-Lake. It not only highlights the growing recognition of visual arts in the community but also stands as a testament to the rich talents of the growing NOTL Arts Collective,” says Boles.
Participating in the exhibition for the first time is Julie Forrester Clark, who joined the collective last year. “I’m so happy and grateful to showcase my artwork alongside these very talented, high calibre artists in my town,” says Clark. “This exhibition highlights why NOTL should be considered a premier destination for visual arts in Ontario.”
At the same time as the collective exhibit, the Walker Room Gallery will display artworks by instructors offering classes and workshops at the Pumphouse. The Instructors Group Show presents diverse artistic styles and mediums, providing a glimpse into the breadth of creative talent and the art centre’s robust program offerings, says the news release.
The opening reception on Sunday, Jan. 14, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., offers an opportunity for those who appreciate art to meet and engage with the exhibiting artists and view their works. Complimentary refreshments will be provided during the event, courtesy of Château des Charmes Winery.
All are invited to welcome the new year by celebrating the local arts community at the Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre. Further information regarding exhibitions can be found at the art centre’s website, niagarapumphouse.ca/exhibitions.
The Niagara Pumphouse Arts Centre offers visual arts programs, exhibitions and events, and gives back to the community by providing access to the arts for those in need.
