About the exhibitions
In Her Garden: Amanda McCavour and Jannick Deslauriers
September 30, 2023 – February 20, 2024, Art Gallery
In Her Garden: Amanda McCavour and Jannick Deslauriers is a two-in-one exhibition of immersive art installations. One is a botanical garden and the other, a dystopian world. Merging biblical events with futuristic prediction, In Her Garden envisions the epic narrative of humanity’s path from happy beginnings to eventual environmental devastation.
Experience the past, present, and future of our planet, coursing from bliss to abyss.

Paradise Lost: Dillon Douglas and Chris Louis
September 27, 2023 – March 10, 2024, Art Gallery Exterior Banners
Niagara-region artists Dillon Douglas and Chris Louis combine their painterly imagery in Paradise Lost, a tryptic digital composition (across three outdoor banners) where a healthy, verdant planet Earth turns into a wasteland. Packed with repetitive and overlapping motifs, both comical and strange, Douglas and Louis take us on a humbling journey of human failure (on a monumental scale) to caution us of a bleak future of our own making.
