Featured Artist Exhibits
February 2025 – Richmond Hill Remembers: Time and Place |
Richmond Hill High School student artists present a collection of works inspired by their experiences and memories in the spaces we share. Each piece is a reflection of our place within the community: from everyday scenes on the way to school, acknowledging the coexistence of past and present, or reinterpreting landmarks. These images explore interiors and exteriors, urban locations and parks. Enjoy viewing our local community through the eyes, imagination, and identities of our students. |
January 2025 – Na’s Gallery and Art Atelier 2025 Showcase: Present Presence |
In a world of constant change, we are ceaselessly pulled between the past and the future, often overlooking the “present” at our feet. Titled “Present Presence,” this exhibition delves into the subtle interplay between time and existence. These works capture fleeting moments, rendering reflections on the present — an invitation to rediscover those overlooked fragments of life and trace the ephemeral emotions and memories within. We invite viewers to slow down, open their hearts, and immerse in every detail, experiencing the reality of this moment. Here, now becomes timeless. May each visitor encounter their own “Present Presence” in this space. |
