Introducing the Local Art Program at Oak House ✨ Art is woven throughout the student living space in this unique residence initiative. 11 original artworks are permanently displayed across the building, from study areas to shared lounges, to dining spaces and beyond. Launched by @uoft_se to celebrate the opening of our newest residence on @UofT’s St. George Campus, the program brings together works by local artists, including U of T students and alumni. Featuring photography, painting, mixed media and sculpture, the works explore themes of nature, sustainability, community and student life. From quiet moments of reflection to shared experiences, the collection enriches the everyday experience of living at Oak House. 🔗 Click the link in bio to visit the Local Art Program website and learn more about the artists and their work.

Find us again at @swabartfair! Abbozzo Gallery brings the works of Toronto-based artist @reallyroda and Barcelona-based @gastonlisak. Both repurpose, subvert, and re-imagine material and objects, altering their intended uses or expected representations. We aim to have a dialogue between Catalan and Kurdish-Canadian practices and approaches to object and material. Roda Medhat’s artwork is interested in the translation of textiles into contemporary sculptural forms. Medhat utilizes industrial materials like neon, steel, and inflatables to rethink the weight and permanence of cultural artifacts. Dr. Gastón Lisak is a conceptual artist whose works reimagine the relation between subjects (us) and everyday material objects using industrial processes. Visit us at Booth G26 October 8-11, 2026 More details on our website, linked in bio 📸: @diegobeyro

Nuit Blanche is back in Toronto this weekend 🌙 Saturday, October 3 from 7pm to 7am. Free, all night, and it's the 20th anniversary edition. With over 70 projects across the city, here are the 4 I'm putting on my list: 1️⃣ Remember | Imagine Painting and stop motion animation about memory, identity and time, inspired by the artist's experience as an immigrant. 2️⃣ Simile Aria A pipe organ meets industrial air compressors, spread across Old City Hall. Bring your headphones down and your curiosity up. 3️⃣ Farsh & Killim Two sculptures by Roda Medhat in CityPlace and Fort York. A carpeted sculpture and a nomadic tent that rethinks how we build and live on the land. 4️⃣ Ever Sick A projected, interactive installation at the Trinity Square Labyrinth celebrating the jingle dress tradition with and for the disabled community. And if you'd rather not chase installations from one spot to the next: 5️⃣ 401 Richmond, Built For Art Two floors of exhibitions, installations and performances under one roof. Fewer lineups, less walking, and it's wheelchair accessible. Tip: pick two or three and pace yourself. Toronto looks different at 2am, and that's half the fun. Save this for Saturday night and send it to whoever you're going with 👇 Which one are you hitting first? #nuitblanchetoronto #nuitblanche2026 #torontoevents #torontoweekend #thingstodointoronto

FARSH by artist Roda Medhat (@reallyroda) is a 16-foot tall sculpture in the shape of a minaret, a structure found throughout the Eastern world that acts as a hub for community gathering. The sculpture is covered with carpet inspired by archival documentation of Kurdish rugs, through which Medhat reflects on historical textile practices and his Kurdish identity.   Gallery Event: Artist-Poet Gathering 📅September 26 | 11 AM – 1 PM 📍 Homeroom Galleries (Level 1), Aurora Town Square ℹ️ Free | Create spontaneous written and visual responses to the artworks on display Common Threads: South Asian Mirror Embroidery w/ Khadija Aziz 📅September 26 | 1 – 3:30 PM 📍 Art Activity Room (Level B1), Aurora Town Square ℹ️ Free | Ages 16+ | RSVP Required Gallery Event: Gallery Yoga + Sound Bath 📅September 27 | 10 – 11 AM 📍 Homeroom Galleries (Level 1), Aurora Town Square ℹ️ $25/Registrant | Join Dayna Wylder in the gallery for group yoga and sound bath We want to sincerely thank our funders, Common Threads: Aurora Public Art Festival exhibition funding provided partly by: Regional Municipality of York, Government of Ontario, and Aurora Town Square. @w_c_y_r @auroratownsquare @ongov @yorkregiongovt @energy.over.matter

The Art Gallery of Burlington (AGB) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded $60,000 in operating funding from the Ontario Arts Council (OAC) through the Ontario Arts Operating Fund, Visual Arts program — representing a 160.9% increase in the Gallery’s operating grant. The significant increase comes at an important moment for the AGB as it advances a new strategic direction focused on delivering meaningful artistic and community impact today while building the capacity for its future.   By mid-August, the AGB had already welcomed more than 31,000 recorded visitors in 2026 — nearly matching total recorded attendance for all of 2025. Beyond Gallery visits, more than 2,600 people had participated in 134 learning and public programs, from camps and Family Open Studios to workshops, tours and artist-led activities. Together, these numbers reflect an institution that is not only being visited, but increasingly being used, experienced, and shaped by its community. At the same time, the Gallery is strengthening its role as a place where artists do more than present finished work through exhibitions, residencies, mentorship, studios, research, and public participation.   To read the full press release, visit the link in our bio!    We would like to acknowledge funding support from the @ontarioartscouncil and the Government of Ontario.
