"related Perspectives"

Opening Date: Saturday, February 14, 2026 from 1-5pm

Show will be installed until Sunday, March 15, 2026

Location: The Back Alley Gallery

A group exhibition featuring artists who are related by blood, marriage or chosen family. This exhibition explores how shared history, environment, or experience can shape or diverge artistic vision.

The work does not need to be about family. Instead, we're interested in seeing how related artists may approach similar subjects, ideas, or aesthetics from different perspectives, or how their work may contrast entirely.

The exhibition opened on Saturday, February 14 and coincides with Family Day in Ontario on Monday, February 16, making it an ideal moment to reflect on connection, relationship, and individuality within shared roots.

Sunday, November 9 from 2-5pm

Join us on Sunday, November 9 for a community event featuring art and live music (by @riversoulmusic).  If you were here the night of Art Circuit, you know it was an amazing vibe with a great crowd.  Here's your chance for a cozier opportunity to drop in, hear some live music, share a drink and spend some time with this beautiful art.  Lots of the artists will be on hand for great conversation!  

The Patterns show is part of the city wide Art Circuit event

"Patterns" is a group exhibition exploring the essential role of connections in our lives —how we build them, sustain them, and are nourished by them. Patterns evoke repetition, structure, memory, and the subtle ways relationships and connections form over time.

What does it truly look like to be part of something larger than yourself? How does connection, mutual care, and collective identity show up in your work or your world?

The title Patterns reflects both visual and conceptual rhythms—repeated gestures, generational knowledge, and the structures (visible or hidden) that hold us together.
