Order in the Eye of the Beholder
2026-02-21 09:54
Presented by The Chamber Music Society of Mississauga in the Small Arms Inspection Building – 1352 Lakeshore Rd E, Mississauga.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10 – BEGINNING AT 12 NOON, THE 20-MINUTE SHOW WILL BE PERFORMED EVERY HOUR ON THE HOUR – LAST PERFORMANCE AT 7 PM.

Free admission (everyone must be fully vaccinated and wear masks) – donations made payable to The Chamber Music Society of Mississauga Inc – are appreciated. Tax receipts will be given to donations over $50.

It is fitting that Order in the Eye of the Beholder was created as a response to the pandemic and the many social, political, and personal upheavals that came with it. The use of almost undiscernible invisible wires and McGuire’s sculpting of herself within their confines, finding endlessly inventive and graceful ways to contort and persevere, are a metaphor for the collective experiences of 2020.
Choreographer, Belinda McGuire – dancer- former Cawthra Park and Woodlands Secondary School student, former member of the Canadian Contemporary Dance Theatre), and graduate of The Juilliard School. Performed in partnership with Penny Johnson, concert pianist, a graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, as well as the Eastman School of Music in Rochester who will perform excerpts from the Goldberg Variations and selected Preludes and Fugues by J.S. Bach.
The Chamber Music Society of Mississauga is grateful to financial support from the City of Mississauga, the Community Foundation of Mississauga, the Hazel McCallion Foundation, CRANE CREATIVE Theatre Company and the Steinway Piano Gallery of Mississauga.

Nov. 2-14 Meena Chopra: Art Show “SHE! The Restless Streak” on the virtual plane
Presented by #Hashtag Gallery & Art Gate VR

FROM 18th NOV. EXHIBITION WILL BE A PART OF THE META BIENNALE
https://www.hashtaggallery.com/…/nov-2-14-meena-chopra…

https://www.artgatevr.com/

In “SHE! The Restless Streak” Meena Chopra reveals herself to be a true original who combines words and images with grace and dexterity. She is that rare being who can transcend reality in her works to uncover layers of mystical experience through her search for cosmic consciousness, hidden truths, and subtle meaning. In her pastels, acrylics depicting the female form in various states of trance-like existence she succeeds in bringing rhythm and sensuality to her elemental visions. The subtle textures and colours that she combines beautifully with her words invite the viewer into her world of wonders. She can transform banality into eloquence with ease.
– Charles Pachter

SHE is the “effect” constantly in search of its “cause”, the cosmic existence as well as liberation. SHE is the root of every experience of life. SHE is the active energy that both creates and dissolves. SHE drastically and restlessly seeks for the mysterious quietude, the hidden power beyond this universe. SHE is the principle of growth and the change. SHE is the provider and the abundance. SHE is the one who offers nourishment, warmth, and security. SHE is the basic nature of intelligence by which the universe exists and functions.
-Meena Chopra (Artist/ Author)

Arts on the Credit is planning a new initiative to create a NEW art experience with Artworks, a fine art show which will include all forms of original work, paintings, sculpture, photography, textiles, wearables and even some sparkle with some wonderful new jewellery.
We will be following all covid protocols that might still be asked of us. Everyone in the hotel associated with the show, including the artists are all fully vaccinated. Visitors will be asked for proof of vaccination and a form of identification and will be required to wear a mask while in the building. We will be asking visitors to register so we can provide tracking information if it becomes necessary. You can pre-register. The registration form is here on the website. Pre-registration would save you some time when you get to the show.

This event will provide the safest indoor space possible. We want you to feel comfortable & relaxed during your time with us. You will notice that there are fewer artists showing this year to allow more space for you to move around the ballroom.
We are offering FREE admission this year. We want to see as many of you as possible.
Arts on the Credit is so looking forward to greeting our patrons back to the Waterside Inn. See you November 6 & 7.

The Art Gallery of Mississauga respectfully extends an invitation to join us at ‘The border crossings Conference’ on Tuesday November 16th, from 9 am to 4 pm at C-Banquet on the 12th floor of Mississauga City Hall.

The three-year project culminates with a conference, a celebration of all that was learned, shared and created. Through keynote speakers, panel discussions, artists painting and performing live to participants having the chance to tell their story artistically, the day will be a wonderful way to close this chapter. We will also be live streaming on social media to extend the reach into the community.
