Cassia Powell: in between you and me

August 29th - September 28th, 2024
Cassia Powell, cheated, 2024

in between you and me is a solo exhibition of select works by Vancouver-based emerging artist Cassia Powell.

This body of work develops themes exploring what writer Gavin Butt refers to as a ‘social activity which produces and maintains the filiations of the artistic community,’ namely – gossip. Using soft-sculptures and oil paintings, in between you and me explores intimacy, vulnerability, story-telling, and worldbuilding through painting and fibres-based installation.


Vernissage: Thursday, August 29th, 2024 at 5:00pm
Artist Talk: Thursday, August 29, 4 p.m.


Re-assembly; Emboldening the Temporal

October 17th - November 27th, 2024
Ian Shatilla, The Musicians, 2022

This exhibition brings together the work 11 of Dawson’s most recognized Visual Arts Alumni with that of their former teacher–artist, writer, curator, and instructor Giuseppe (Joe) di Leo. 

Celebrating the reciprocal and circular journey between mentor and mentees, the exhibition will focus on the multi-faceted forms of drawing: abbreviated gestures, sketches schematics, faithfully rendered recordings, executed in a range of treatment and approaches on any surface.  Revealing the multiplicities and meanderings of human existence, these artists present drawing as a means to  probe, record, and conger vivid expressions of imagined and complex realities.

Andy Fabo: The Weight of Delirium

March 5th - September 16th, 2020

The works in this exhibition, The Weight of Delirium, were selected from two different bodies of my art of the last decade:  Delirious at the Borderlines (2012-13), a series consisting of both drawings and digital prints, and The Weight (2016-17), a collection of more than fifty iterative mixed-media drawings.

It seems appropriate to combine the two for this exhibition because both collections of work rely on metaphor and allegory to portray crisis.

January 23rd - February 19th, 2020

In 1992, Andres Manniste initiated the first Fine Arts Faculty Biennial exhibition at ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ÊÓƵ. A highly respected senior member of the faculty, Manniste was motivated by the desire to share the rich and varied visual arts practices of the fine arts department with the Dawson community.

Reclaiming My Place

October 31st - November 27th, 2019

Reclaiming My Place is a group exhibition featuring the work of Sharon Norwood (Toronto/Savannah), Shanna Strauss (Montreal/Bay Area,CA) and Cedar-Eve (Tiohtià:ke/Toronto). Curated by Cécilia Bracmort, their works present strategies to combat structural oppression from a feminist and decolonial perspective. A blend of resistance and resilience, the works of these artists push back representational boundaries and decompartmentalize the imaginary landscape. Heeding the call of this inner voice, they intercept the messages of their ancestors, transmitting them to future generations through their artistic practices.




Edwin Janzen: Remote

September 26th - October 19th, 2019

With the twentieth century’s latter decades came the arrival of the humble remote-control handset, elevating consumers of media to new heights of power over their T.V. sets, VCRs, DVD players, and other electronic devices. With their sleek lines and crisp designs, remote controllers translated a Cold War-era, militarist command-and-control ideology into an aesthetic form and infiltrated it into the world’s living rooms. With remotes in hand, consumers became armchair emperors and generals. In his exhibition Remote, artist Edwin Janzen turns the spotlight onto these consumer electronic artifacts to investigate the shadow-world of humankind’s obsession with technologies of control.




Jobena Petonoquot: Rebellion of My Ancestors

August 26th - September 18th, 2019

Rebellion of my Ancestors is infused with Jobena Petonoquot’s familial history and its intersections within the history of colonization in Canada. Petonoquot’s beaded works record the memories and stories of her family; photographs, sculpture, prints, and installation articulate an uncompromising Indigenous resiliency and cultural continuity.

Jobena Petonoquot was born in Maniwaki, and raised on the Kitigan Zibi reservation, where she currently lives and works. A graduate Concordia University in 2012, Petonoquot majored in art history and completed a minor in photography.
