SUMMARY:Focus Series
DESCRIPTION:The Focus Series is an ongoing partnership between Library and Archives Canada and the National Gallery of Canada\, building on the rich collections of both institutions. \nFocus on the Métis — A103 Corridor and A103a\nA special collaboration that examines how early images of the Métis are often misidentified or not referenced at all. A careful look at details in historical art and photographs reveals that the Métis are often “hiding in plain sight.” \nPictorialism — A104a\nThe predominant aesthetic in photography throughout the first half of the twentieth century was pictorialism. \nWork is art/Art is work — A109a\nThis installation examines the various ways artists responded to the critical issues of the Depression era. \nPoints of View: Photography in the North — A111a\nDocumentary photographer Pamela Harris recorded community life in Taloyoak\, Nunavut (then Spence Bay\, NWT) for three months in 1972 and 1973 (published as Another Way of Being). Her photographs appear both casual and staged\, the resulting photographic sessions respectfully engaging two cultures and important considerations such as the agency and self-representation of Inuit.

SUMMARY:Imaginarium - Don Monet\, Beth Shepherd & Sarah Wayne
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Imaginarium — a space where memory\, myth\, and whimsy collide. Each work in this exhibition offers a doorway into a world just slightly askew from our own\, where the familiar transforms into the fantastical. Imagination reshapes the everyday\, inviting curiosity\, reflection\, and a quiet sense of wonder. \nDon Monet(link is external) focuses his practice on landscape\, photo-collage\, and acrylic painting on birch plywood. Through photo-collage and acrylic paint\, he creates sequences of fractured photos which are then unified through paint and traditional landscape techniques. Co-Founder and director of Cube Gallery\, Ottawa (2005-present)\, Don has organized dozens of thematic group exhibitions and solo shows and provided a venue for hundreds of artists. \nBeth Shepherd(link opens email application) is an Ottawa-based artist working in printmaking\, photography\, video\, and text. Situated at the intersection of ecology\, animal advocacy\, and ecocritical art history\, her multi-year art-research projects explore the non-human world and humanity’s impacts on it. In this exhibition\, the artist imagines a garden far beyond. \nSarah Wayne is an acrylic painter and mixed media artist creating works focused on abstracted figures and landscapes. An accountant by profession\, Wayne brings a structured and disciplined approach to her art. Her bold colour palette and emphasis on shape combine to create stimulating pieces that invite the eye to linger. \nASP Gallery\, Stafford Studios\nNepean Creative Arts Centre\, Unit 1\n35 Stafford Road\, Bells Corners\nFree admission \nThe gallery is open to the public by appointment only: cgc@ottawa.ca

SUMMARY:Voir bleu
DESCRIPTION:Gatineau présente cet hiver Voir bleu\, une exposition issue de la Collection Loto-Québec\, à la Galerie Montcalm. Commissariée par Manon Pouliot\, responsable de la Collection Loto-Québec\, Voir bleu réunit une trentaine d’oeuvres d’artistes québécois et célèbre plus de 45 ans d’engagement envers l’art d’ici. \nL’exposition s’articule autour de quatre univers :\n– Bleu abstrait : oeuvres liées aux grands courants modernistes québécois;\n– Bleu nature : paysage\, environnement et rapport au territoire;\n– Bleu optique : perception\, lumière et photographie;\n– Bleu engagé : oeuvres portées par un propos social ou politique. \nParmi les artistes présentés\, on retrouve Serge Lemoyne\, Fernand Leduc\, Françoise Sullivan\, Guido Molinari\, ainsi que trois artistes de la région de l’Outaouais (Pierrette Lambert\, Dominique Plastre et Denise Tremblay). \nCitations \n« Accueillir l’exposition Voir bleu\, c’est offrir à la population de Gatineau un voyage au coeur d’une des plus importantes collections d’entreprises au Québec. C’est une occasion unique de voir se côtoyer les grands courants modernistes et la vision d’artistes de chez nous\, dans une exploration poétique et engagée qui saura toucher tout le monde »\, a déclaré madame Isabelle N. Miron en tant que présidente de la Commission des arts\, de la culture\, des lettres et du patrimoine (CACLP). \n« Voir bleu propose une exploration au coeur des quelque 4 800 oeuvres de la Collection Loto Québec\, un patrimoine culturel inestimable. Les pièces retenues pour cette exposition mettent en lumière la diversité des styles qui traversent l’art québécois tout en faisant écho à l’histoire de la couleur bleu\, chère à la Société. Nous invitons le public à découvrir ce parcours et à porter un regard renouvelé sur la place du bleu dans leur entourage »\, a souligné la responsable de la Collection Loto-Québec\, madame Manon Pouliot.

SUMMARY:Elaf Selim at Constitution Square
DESCRIPTION: Elaf Selim is a fine artist known for luminous\, romantic paintings that explore femininity\, stillness\, and emotional refuge. A Canadian-Egyptian artist raised in Kuwait\, her work is shaped by a life lived across cultures\, landscapes\, and visual traditions. From an early age\, she was encouraged toward imagination and creative expression\, laying the foundation for a lifelong devotion to art.  \nHer painting practice is informed by training in classical oil painting and modern mixed-media techniques\, resulting in dreamlike works that balance structure with intuition. Rooted in Contemporary Romanticism\, Selim creates contemplative paintings of feminine figures\, gardens\, and delicate symbols. Her work offers a counterpoint to a culture of speed and anxiety by privileging slowness\, intimacy\, and light.  \nSelim’s imagery is immediately recognizable: feminine figures\, gardens\, and symbolic elements inhabiting a gentle\, luminous world just beyond waking. Working intuitively\, she draws from dreams\, memory\, meditation\, and nature. Her process includes layered oils\, fluid mark-making\, and hand-printed collage papers created from botanical materials gathered in her garden\, resulting in works that glow with depth and subtle texture.  \nShe creates in her home studio surrounded by gardens\, with the intention that her paintings become sanctuaries; offering collectors moments of rest\, intimacy\, and calm within a fast-paced world. Her work is represented by galleries\, exhibited in juried and curated shows\, and held in private collections\, resonating with collectors drawn to quiet beauty\, emotional presence\, and romantic stillness.

SUMMARY:Where Water Meets Land: Mary Gourlay
DESCRIPTION:Mary Gourlay’s work emerges from an emotional and physical immersion in the natural world\, responding to the power\, fragility\, and temporality of landscape. Exploring remote environments by canoe\, kayak\, and on foot\, Gourlay creates sketches\, small paintings\, and photographs that capture fleeting moments of encounter. These fragmentary records form the basis for larger studio works that distill her lived experience of nature into richly expressive paintings. Since settling in Canada in 1992\, her work has been shaped by the landscapes of the Canadian Shield\, the south shore of the St. Lawrence near Rimouski\, and the Pacific coastline of Vancouver Island.
