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.
