SUMMARY:GPAG: MAUREEN SUGRUE | Pathways
DESCRIPTION:Maureen Sugrue’s exhibition in the Eve Smart Gallery Pathways represents ideas that came from conversations about aging\, paths taken or not taken\, and the journey to “now” in our lives. These conversations led to seeing or imagining paths; not necessarily literal versions\, but instead interpretative impressions of the mental pathways that intertwine throughout our lives. Each work begins with white cloth developed in stages through dyeing\, stitching\, painting\, and printmaking techniques\, with constant experimentation during the process; resulting in vibrant cloth banners that represent a diverse array of mediums and techniques. Sugrue’s creative process involves the full development of an idea to a resolution\, a deeply satisfying process that is also inspired by both the nature and culture surrounding her. \nJoin us at the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:GPAG: ROSE STARDUST | Art\, Wit\, and Other Coping Mechanisms
DESCRIPTION:When the world starts to feel absurd\, we have art to hold us. This exhibition by Rose Stardust in Joe’s Lounge moves through a familiar rhythm\, from a symbolic morning of hope\, to a night marked by doubt\, and everything in between. It follows the ways we cope\, make sense of things\, and keep going\, even when nothing quite adds up. Creativity runs through the work as both a lifeline and inquiry. Engaging with art – getting our hands dirty\, our minds solving problems – is not just a way to get through. It’s a way of working with what’s unresolved\, and looking a little closer\, with intention. It’s therapy and escape\, all at once. Stardust’s paintings carry a dream-like\, contemporary relic quality. Strong shapes sit alongside distressed\, shifting atmospheres\, built layer upon layer\, holding both clarity and erosion at once. \nJoin us at the Opening Reception on Saturday\, May 2nd\, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

SUMMARY:Reflection - Inspirito Vocal Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:This eclectic program of music explores the essence of humanity and reflects on the human condition as it appears in our internal self-awareness\, our relationships with others\, and our interaction with the natural world. Humanity is a complex blend of profound empathy\, creative intelligence\, and destructive potential\, often defined by its search for meaning\, connection to nature\, and capacity for both love and cruelty. We are all social creatures navigating mortality\, shaped by our interactions\, and driven by a need for compassion and a responsibility to protect our shared existence. \nThe program will include songs in different styles and genres and will highlight text and music by great Canadian artists: Dennis Lee\, author and co-founder of the House of Anansi Press\, Joni Mitchell\, Connie Kaldor and The Rankin Family. \nUnder direction of Artistic Director Sarona Mynhardt\, we will be joined by Toby Aldren on piano\, and Bernard Blary & Yewon Shin on flute.
