ART AND POETRY JULY 8 TO SEPTEMBER 4
THE SPACE BETWEEN MAY 6 TO JULY 7
THE SPACE BETWEEN MAY 6 TO JULY 7
Five artists come together to interpret one theme - The Space Between - yet even with five distinctly unique bodies of work, there is a common thread woven throughout them all: In the space between lies the opportunity for transformation, and a deep curiosity to step into the unknown.
What is “the space between”? For some it’s the distance between two objects. For others, it’s the concept of negative space. And for yet others, it’s the emotional distance between two people.
Please come to our open house this Saturday, May 11 from 1-4pm at Artworks Gallery Guelph to see how our gallery artists have interpreted our theme. This has been one of the most challenging shows to date and we’d love for you to visit, either for our open house or daily from 10am to 4pm.
Kate Rogers is a self-taught acrylic and mixed media abstract artist based in Guelph, Ontario creating original paintings for those who crave an unordinary life and home.
She embodies bold expression and unapologetic energy to celebrate your curious spirit and the boundless possibilities that unfold when you grant yourself permission to say yes to what lights your soul on fire. Limitations and convention be damned.
Integrating Kate’s work into your space is an honouring of your own self-expression. It invites you to prioritize what will help you flourish and anchors you in those decisions. By accepting the invitation, you consciously choose to become part of a ripple effect: contributing to a wave of unapologetic, playful, vivacious living that in turn raises the frequency of our planet.

Rocks, Streams and Dreams: April 3 - May 5
What do Guelph and New York City have in common? We both have a luscious green space, created to give people a respite from the rigorous demands of their lives. Babbling brooks, ponds, specimen trees, heritage stone buildings, birds, snapping turtles, animals and wildflowers are just a few minutes from the bustle of Guelph’s downtown core. New York City has Central Park, and Guelph has Yorklands Green Hub, 905 York Road, both fashioned on the Cities Beautiful Movement at the turn of the century. For several years, a group of hardy volunteers has been working diligently to preserve 70 acres of a 1000 acre parcel, formerly the Ontario Reformatory. One of the ways Yorklands is caring for this land is through its partnership with Urban Park Guelph to establish a National Urban Park at the OR Heritage Conservation District (OR/GCC) lands. Artworks Gallery Guelph is celebrating beautiful Yorklands Green Hub with a nature-inspired show that will include works by Centennial High School’s art students, our Feature Artist, Adam Honsinger and gallery collective members: Patti Collins, Nancy Farrell, Katherine Percival, Sharyn Seibert and Suzanne Wakefield. On April 14 from 1pm to 4 pm we hosted an open house where guests met the artists as well as saw Mike Schreiner MPP, who acknowledged Yorkland Green Hub’s receipt of a Trillium Award. |
