The Artistic Viewpoint
2025-03-30 13:30 - 15:30 | Ontario
You are invited to an Opening Reception of SOVA’s show, The Artistic Viewpoint, Sunday afternoon, March 30 from 1:30 – 3:30 pm, in the Helson Gallery at the Halton Hills Culture Centre in Georgetown. Opening remarks are at 2:00 pm followed by a Conversation Circle with Walk ‘n Talk through the show.
With all 14 members of the Southern Ontario Visual Arts group having pieces in this show, it is a wonderful opportunity to take in a full view, The Artistic Viewpoint, of an eclectic group of fourteen artists who have become friends over the years and a formal exhibition group. As artist member Michelle Eissler has observed, “Artistic Expression occurs when the artist seeks to depict not only objective reality, but rather the subjective emotions and responses to objects and events.”
With strong ties to their local communities, these award-winning artists include: Robert Chisholm, Angela Burden, and Daureen Murphy from the Orangeville area, Lynden Cowan, Helen Duplassie, Margaret Pardy, and Connie Munson of Brampton, Michelle Eissler of Alliston, Lynne Schumacher of Owen Sound, Joanne Lomas of Wassauga Beach, Janice Ykema and Steve Wilson, formerly of Inglewood, now residing in Niagara Falls, Charlene Nickels in Prince Edward Island, and Joanna Turlej of Oakville. Many of the SOVA members have studios at the Alton Mill Arts Centre and along with several others are members of the Headwaters Arts Collective at the Mill.
Lynden Cowan, a founding member, comments on the level of professionalism in the group;” (they) constantly expand the personal boundaries of their skills and are never satisfied with the mundane.” Individually, they exhibit extensively, winning awards and accolades, with some of them showing their work internationally.”

With live music and light refreshments, lively conversations and beautiful art to enjoy in this historic building, do come out to be inspired and refreshed by their view, The Artistic Viewpoint.

Together KUNE members compose, arrange and perform music that honours their cultural roots and creates connections with others through curiosity, experimentation and dialogue. It is a space to remember our origins and learn from each other’s differences.

Hand-Building History | Clay Workshop
2025-04-05 14:00 - 15:30 | Ontario
This in-person pottery workshop is presented in conjunction with our current exhibition Inside. Outside. Of., and is inspired by the ceramic pieces created by artist Shanie Tomassini that explore themes of ritual, renewable energies, and our relationship to the present and future.
In this workshop, participants will work with Toronto-based, artist and ceramicist, Luke Mohan, to explore the potential of clay to express aspects of personal introspection. Incorporating elements of hand-built pottery making, Luke will lead the group in a discussion on how we are connected to the world around us, and how these contexts shape our lives. They will be encouraged to consider the differences between how they see themselves compared to how they present themselves to the outside world, and learn how clay as a physical, transformative, and earthly material can enhance these explorations.
All materials will be provided, but participants are also welcome to bring their own apron or smock to use for this workshop.
Participants must be 16+ to attend this workshop. We will meet at the Hazel McCallion Central Libary in meeting room 3A.
The program fee helps cover costs and reflects your commitment to attending, ensuring a meaningful experience for all participants.
Thank you to TD Bank Group for funding this workshop.
Thank you to Rama Gaming House and Charitable Gaming, Community Good for their support of this workshop through their charity initiatives which help in the purchase of materials.

About the Facilitator
Luke Mohan is an artist and ceramicist from Toronto. He is a graduate of NSCAD University with a BFA in Interdisciplinary Fine Arts and a BA in Art History. He is one of the current Resident Artists participating in the City of Mississauga’s Resident Artist Program at the Living Arts Centre.
“I see ceramics as inherently a material born of transformation. I utilize this transformative quality to make sculptures, installations and functional objects that blur the line between the familiar and unfamiliar, finding humour and sincerity there. Ceramics’ physicality, mystery and ubiquity throughout human history serve as inspiration to me when creating new work.” – Luke Mohan

REEL Thursdays: Drive Back Home
2025-04-10 19:00 - 21:00 | Living Arts Centre, 4141 Living Arts Dr, Mississauga, Ontario, Mississauga, Canada
Experience the magic of cinema with REEL Thursdays, a curated film series presented in collaboration with the TIFF Film Circuit. This monthly event celebrates diverse stories and themes, offering a rich cinematic journey from January to May 2025. Proudly hosted by the City of Mississauga, screenings take place in the cozy Screening Room at the Living Arts Centre.
Film: Drive Back Home
In the winter of 1970, a cantankerous, small town plumber from rural New Brunswick, must drive his beat-up work truck 1000 miles to Toronto to get his estranged, gay brother out of jail after being arrested for having sex in a public park. The two men are then forced to drive back home together at the behest of their hard-nosed mother before they kill each other. Inspired by a true story.
Coarse language, viewer discretion advised.
REEL Thursdays at LAC gratefully acknowledges our partnership with Film Circuit, presented by TIFF, and its sponsors and supporters. For more information about Film Circuit and to view a full list of their sponsors and supporters, please visit tiff.net/filmcircuit.

The Chamber Music Society of Mississauga presents: Kuné - Universal Echoes
2025-04-10 20:00 - 22:00 | Meadowvale Theatre, 6315 Montevideo Rd, Mississauga, Ontario, L5N 4G7, Canada
“Universal Echoes” explores the four elements of earth, and Mother Nature, through
music. The compositions were all created through the collaborative efforts of Kuné’s
members and feature music inspired by the group members’ direct lived and
cultural experiences.
Universal Echoes stem from the idea of oneness – the interrelatedness of all beings,
joining together and unifying all that inhabits our world. Through the motion of an
Echo, slightly varied repeated sounds reoccur over different spaces, reverberating,
bouncing, travelling, and reflecting. The musical program of Kuné does just that,
taking the listener on an audio voyage, hearing both familiar and foreign sounds.
KUNE is an eleven-piece collective of ten immigrant musicians from all over the
world and one metis-Canadian. KUNE’s artistic practice captures and recreates the
experience of living in Toronto, one of the world’s most diverse cities. The musicians
are from Iraq, Cuba, Peru, Burkina-Faso and China. The instruments they play are not
often played together on stage; like the Tar, the Dizi, the Cajon and the Ngoni. It is a
space to remember our origins and learn from each other’s differences. Together
KUNE members compose, arrange and perform music that honours their cultural
roots and creates connections with others through curiosity, experimentation and
dialogue.
