A week of celebration of the work of Kent Monkman at Cowley Abbott.

It was a privilege for us to welcome guests into our new space over multiple evenings to experience “Kent Monkman: The Colony”, a selling exhibition of Monkman’s public art commission “The Colony” at the Lassonde Art Trail. The exhibition features preparatory drawings in graphite, ink and charcoal as well as etchings and paintings featuring the iconic “Castor canadiensis”.

We were delighted to welcome @artcaninstitute for their talk with Chloë Catán and November Paynter, giving a behind-the-scenes exclusive look at Toronto’s newly opened Lassonde Art Trail (LAT) (@thelatfoundation), an open-air museum expected to draw over a million visitors annually.

Thank you to @kentmonkman for joining us at the events this week and for providing his time and insight related to the work in this very special exhibition. It was a thrill to welcome the artist and his incredible team to our space.

“Kent Monkman: The Colony” remains on view at our new Alcorn Avenue gallery in the coming weeks and closes on November 9th. You can also view the exhibition online (link in our bio) and, following several sales locally and internationally this week, artwork still remains available for acquisition. taken in Cowley Abbott by @cowleyabbott
