GPAG: Art Exhibition: THINKING OUT LOUD | Coralie Swaney

to June 17th. Inspired by the people who have said to Coralie Swaney “I’d love to see inside your head”, Thinking Out Loud melds portraiture with still life painting and explores the notion of the observer being able to look inside the mind of the subject. Whether illuminating simple thoughts, memories, fleeting notions, or a full-blown obsession, all portraits represent a reprieve from a world fraught with angst and tribulation. Also included are a family of sculpted characters, members of a fictional book club, with the interactions between these characters exposed and explored. An exhibition in Joe’s Lounge, on display May 28 – June 17th. Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 30, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!

GPAG: Art Exhibition: JEANNETTE SIROIS | At the Table | The Architecture of Control

to June 21st. At the Table | The Architecture of Control is a portrait-based exhibition highlighting the lived experiences, identities, and truths of 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals. Large scale hyperrealistic drawings offer complete transparency, with differing conceptions of identity, vulnerability, and strength put prominently on display. Jeannette Sirois invites viewers to step closer, engage deeply, and contemplate the importance of being seen. While each subject’s story is distinct, together they convey a shared truth, asserting that what 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals bring to the table is the same as anyone else; the right to exist authentically and without fear. In an era of increasing hostility toward 2SLGBTQ+ communities, this project provides a vital space for visibility, dialogue, and empathy, and encourages reflection on the systems that determine who is seen, heard, and valued. An exhibition on display in the Main Gallery May 28 – June 21. Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, May 30, 2pm – 4pm. All are welcome!
