EXPLORE THE EXHIBITION COLLECTION HERE

We are so delighted to welcome you to our 2nd annual National Juried Art Exhibition; Out of Place: Mind Body Land

Out of Place: Mind Body Land is a National Juried Art Exhibition showcasing Canadian artists exploring the expanded meaning of ‘place’, by exploring the intersecting relationships between mind, body, and land; examining how these relationships are shaped, challenged, or altered through forms of interaction, distance, and attention. We welcomed over 200 submissions and our jury has chosen the final show. We can’t wait to experience this with you.

Artists whom were accepted into the exhibition have have responded in ways that feel meaningful, including reflections on identity, memory, current events, abstraction, or conceptual inquiry. We encouraged artists to approach the theme in a way that felt natural to their own practice, while encouraging them to take this opportunity as a challenge to “break the mold”, experiment, and push boundaries through creation.

We received over 200 submissions to Out of Place: Mind Body Land, and are thrilled to welcome 42 artists into the exhibition. This group of artists spans coast to coast in Canada, from British Columbia all the way to Newfoundland. Each who embodied and were inspired by the theme in their own individual way; intertwining with their technical abilities, their vision, and their craft.

This is an exhibition that is sure to be written on all our walls as we move forward in this world. Inspiring us to explore the intersecting relationships in our own life between mind body and land.

Our opening reception was a beautiful evening of connection, art, and curiosity. We are grateful to all who came, and for those who could not make it, we can’t wait to see you at the next one.

This outstanding exhibition will run until August 16th in Downtown Huntsville at Coles Art Market.
