Join us to celebrate the conceptualization of alder for the heart in breathtaking artworks from BIPOC & 2SLGTQI+ artists residing in Etobicoke and the GTA. Experience an unforgettable afternoon with fellow art enthusiasts in a warm and vibrant atmosphere!

alder for the heart examines how personal identity is woven from the ecological, ancestral, and urban landscape around us, exploring the deep interconnections between self, memory, and place in Etobicoke/Adobigok through the works of emerging artists. The artworks in this exhibition reflect the artists’ interpretations of what the city of Etobicoke means to them. By creating deep connections between art, place, and people, this juried exhibition celebrates the diverse voices of emerging professional artists from our local communities. Alder for the heart invites visitors to reflect on their own roots: what has helped you grow? How do the places around you shape who you are?

Light snacks and beverages will be available at the reception.

Exhibition Dates: December 3, 2025 to January 14, 2026
