SUMMARY:Sally Wismer Gallery Solo Show Opening Reception: Curious\, Andi Syme
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception July 14th 6pm-8pm \nJULY 4th– AUGUST 25th 2026 \nGallery hours: Tue to Wed\, 10am to 4pm \nThe structures we live in pose an ongoing challenge to finding comfort in our bodies. Despite this\, comfort regrows out of warm and soft spaces\, where we are able to imagine and regenerate. \nWithin the desaturated planes\, figures bond and interact with a sense of freedom\, play\, or absurdity. Reflecting the nuance of finding joy and euphoria through their historical bodies\, the figures continue to dance in their plurality\, recognizing the fuel joy gifts in upholding resiliency. Their boundless bodies bloom\, reshape\, and rework their assumed limits\, harvesting with them grit\, flexibility\, and connection. Inviting you into their curious world\, the interwoven figures play in the environment of uncertainty\, open to surprise and new constructions of self. \nAndi Syme (they/ them) is an interdisciplinary visual artist. Syme graduated from the University of Guelph with a BA(Honours) in Studio Art and Sexualities\, Genders and Social Change. With focus on figures in community\, they expressively explore autobiographical themes of neuro-queer and trans* identity\, community\, and safe spaces. Syme primarily works through charcoal drawings on soft domestic objects to share joy and understanding.

SUMMARY:Sacred Circles\, an exploration of Sacred Geometry and Mandala Art by Barbara McKell
DESCRIPTION:Show Runs July 8th – August 2nd \nArtist Reception July 11th\, 3-5pm \nBarbara McKell is a visionary artist specializing in unique Mandala Art. \nArtists Statement: As a Visionary Artist\, I work with watercolour\, ink\, and acrylic to create Mandala paintings and Soul Portraits that invite viewers to journey beyond the tangible world into the metaphysical and spiritual realms. For me\, art is a sacred practice\, a pathway to self discovery and healing that deepens as I connect to the inner voice of wisdom guiding my work. In each piece\, I aim to redefine perspectives offering a visual language that transcends established thought and opens the door to a more expansive reality. \nMy mandalas are expressions of the soul’s symbolic language\, created through a blend of inner vision and artistic technique. My artwork is infused with elements of sacred geometry\, symbolic patterns\, and the natural energies of crystals\, plants\, and totems\, imbuing them with healing potential. The interplay of these influences\, along with vibrant colours and organic forms\, invites a sense of unity that lingers. \nLearn more on the Ground Floor Art’s website

SUMMARY:Film Screening: "ENDLESS COOKIE"
DESCRIPTION:Ed Video Media Arts Centre is pleased to host a screening of Endless Cookie\, the animated documentary by Seth and Peter Scriver at the GYMC. This screening is presented in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Guelph. \nPWYC entry ($5.00 suggested) — NOTAFLOF \nEndless Cookie is an imaginatively animated family portrait that explores the contrasting upbringings between two half-brothers\, one white and one Indigenous\, in a humorous oral history. As they reminisce into the recording microphone\, the threads of their stories are punctuated\, interrupted\, or else hijacked by charismatic (and humorously animated) members of the extended family\, including nine kids and ten dogs\, who add to the narrative by indulging in their own reveries. The result is an exploration of identity\, race\, and Indigenous resistance to colonization within a First Nations community; an impressionistic and often surreal depiction of family; and a lived-in documentary of the creative process. \nThere will be a Q&A with the directors Seth and Peter Scriver following the screening.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: “CELESTIAL QUEER”
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Ed Video for a screening of Celestial Queer: The Life\, Work\, and Wonder of James MacSwain a documentary feature film. There will be a Q&A with the film’s directors Eryn Forster and Sue Johnson after the screening. \nPWYC entry ($5.00 suggested) — NOTAFLOF \nSynopsis: Equal parts art project\, history lesson\, and whimsy\, Celestial Queer: The Life\, Work\, and Wonder of James MacSwain offers a portrait of an artist who defied convention for a life lived on his own terms. Directors Eryn Foster and Sue Johnson spent a decade checking in with the witty\, erudite MacSwain as he moved about his life in north end Halifax\, returned to his tiny rural hometown of Amherst\, Nova Scotia—where he grew up\, unable to pass for straight\, in the 1950s—and discussed his lifelong\, wildly inventive art practice. The playful\, queer work is cut out\, glued together\, and sung into intricate collages\, analogue films combining handmade animation with documentary and provocative exhibitions. Johnson and Foster\, who knew MacSwain for decades until his death in 2025\, combine myriad formats in the production (including 16mm\, Super-8\, and digital video) for an intimate patchwork celebration reflective of their subject’s own body of work. Celestial Queer now stands as an elegy for a man who was defiantly original\, internationally renowned\, and an icon of artistic integrity. James MacSwain lived how he wanted—unabashed\, uncompromising\, and unforgettable.

SUMMARY:Standing Wave — An installation by Jenn E. Norton
DESCRIPTION:Standing Wave is a multichannel installation that draws upon natural phenomena\, such as cloud formations\, paired with pareidolia and surrealist imagery to explore emotional and mental states of being. The title derives from the phenomenon of clouds forming above mountains\, known as standing wave clouds or lenticular clouds\, which indicate that rain is imminent. Observers often mistake these clouds for UFOs because of their smooth\, saucer-like shapes. A standing wave is a vibrational pattern that occurs when two waves oscillate at the same frequency and amplitude but move in opposite directions\, interfering with one another. At certain points\, the amplitude is zero; at others\, it reaches its maximum. Norton employs this occurrence as a metaphor in a long-form animation in which clouds transform and morph through representations of places\, people\, animals\, and objects\, as a rolling thought process of hypnagogic visions.

SUMMARY:Guelph Arts Council Golden Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:RSVP at guelpharts.ca/gacgac \nWhat: The “GACGAC”. Guelph Arts Council Golden Anniversary Celebration. We turned 50. We want to celebrate with you! \nWhen: Saturday\, November 22\, 2025\, 7pm (programming to begin at 7:30pm) \nWhere: GAC’s new home in Old Quebec Street Shoppes. \nWhy should you come: GAC wouldn’t exist without an arts community to serve\, so we’d like to celebrate with the people who have inspired us for 50 years. There’s also a chance that GAC has supported you in your Guelph arts life\, whether that’s as an organization that got its start with support from GAC many years ago\, or as an individual who has shown in our gallery space\, received an award\, participated in our mentorship program or Art on the Street\, or any other things over the past 50 years. \nWe’re also unveiling the new “Sally Wismer Gallery” that night\, named after GAC’s longtime Executive Director\, volunteer and friend\, so maybe you’d like to come and celebrate that too. \nBasically\, if you love the arts\, you love our community\, and you love a chance to gather with friends in the sector\, this is the place for you. \nWe’re calling the event “folk formal”\, meaning all are welcome to come as formally (or informally) dressed as they’d like\, and the night’s program will feature dance\, spoken word/performance arts\, and musical performances\, video screenings\, as well as a chance for attendees to participate in a community craft project (beading) and a community literature project\, where they will be encouraged to write down their favourite Guelph arts memories from the past 50 years with the intention of publishing a keepsake book. \nAttendees may enjoy beverages from a cash bar and mocktail bar\, and snacks will be served. \nThere will be an in-person 50/50 raffle at the event\, and people may also make an optional donation when they RSVP to attend (guelpharts.ca/gacgac)\, or contribute to GAC’s ongoing donation appeal online by visiting guelpharts.ca/about/donate. \nWe’re so grateful to all of you who have shaped GAC over the past 50 years\, and who will continue to shape us through the next 50. Let’s celebrate together!

SUMMARY:Dave Riedstra - Folds in Our Unfolding Trajectories
DESCRIPTION:September 27 – October 12 2025 \nOpening Reception: Saturday September 27\, 2-6pm \nDave Riedstra is a Guelph-based artist who works with quiet sound. Folds in Our Unfolding Trajectories is a sound installation in which hanging wooden forms resonate with the acoustic space and ongoing activity of the Guelph Youth Music Centre atrium. Sounds and movement in the space interact with the position of the hanging objects\, changing the patterns of resonance that ring out through their quiet feedback. Audio processing monitors these changes and incorporates their movement into its own generative system\, further interacting with the sound. Gently incorporating human\, arboreal\, machine\, and other processes and histories into a mixture of present sound\, Folds in… weaves its own trajectory among those in the atrium’s ecosystem. \nThis installation is proudly presented in partnership with Ed Video Media Arts Centre and the Guelph Youth Music Centre as part of Ontario Culture Days\, Canada’s annual celebration of arts\, culture and heritage. The GYMC’s 2nd floor Atrium is physically accessible by elevator. \nThe artist acknowledges the support of the Guelph Arts Council in the development of this work.
