SUMMARY:Quiet Unfolding | Bahar Enshaeian
DESCRIPTION:Through photography\, Bahar Enshaeian unravels the intricate layers of memory\, identity\, and belonging. Rooted in personal experience\, her work speaks to the complexities of migration\, displacement\, and the search for home. Blending photographs with ephemeral objects\, Enshaeian creates a rich narrative that traces the emotional and cultural currents of life between Iran and Canada—glimpses of fleeting moments\, intimate spaces\, and evolving relationships that reveal how memory takes shape within and between movement and distance. \nLanguage plays a central role in her practice; Persian and English exist alongside one another\, marking the duality of her experience. Weaving together her personal story with broader\, shared narratives of migration\, Enshaeian’s work forges a space between the deeply personal and the universally resonant. Transcending records of time and place\, her photographs become meditations on longing\, adaptation\, and the ways in which we construct a sense of belonging when “home” is no longer singular but expansive and fluid. \nClick here for more info.

SUMMARY:Wallflower Paintings by Corine van Hoeve
DESCRIPTION:Based in Dundas\, Ontario\, Corine began actively drawing and painting in mid-career after taking courses at the Dundas Valley School of Art (DVSA). Having previously obtained degrees from the University of Guelph\, Western University\, and University of Toronto\, she has\, at different times\, worked in finance and education as well as project management. When not out painting or sketching from life or en plein air\, Corine works from her studio at the Cotton Factory in Hamilton\, Ontario. \nInstagram: @cvanhoeve\nWebsite: cvanhoeve.ca\nEmail: cvanhoeve@gmail.com \nWhile artwork is made to be viewed and commented upon\, a ‘wallflower’ is\, by definition\, the opposite. It describes an individual who\, though present at parties and gatherings\, actively avoids direct connection with others. My paintings embody this duality: encouraging people to look while at the same time not necessarily returning the gaze. On another level\, they are studies in observation\, perhaps a little like a wallflower might carefully scrutinize who’s the life of the party from the corner of the room. I analyze value\, colour and form in terms of scale and composition\, seeking to create some kind of balance and harmony to ease the discomfort of being seen. \nApril 21 – May 21\, 2025 \nArtist Reception: May 3rd\, 2-4pm \n3rd Floor Gallery Wyndham Art Supplies 125 Wyndham St N\, Guelph ON \nGallery Hours: M-F 3-5pm\, Sat 12-5 \nFor more info click here.

SUMMARY:I am a Handyman | Hal Fortin
DESCRIPTION:What utility can we find in vestiges of the past? This question shapes Hal Fortin’s interdisciplinary practice and its distinct sculptural language\, punctuated by humour\, dream logic\, and the rhythms of domestic labour. Working with second-hand materials that are both inherited and found\, Fortin moves fluidly between repurposing originals into sculptures and reproducing them through printmaking. Responding to surfaces marked by time and absence—stained\, mended\, cleaned\, sanded\, shedding\, scraped\, pierced\, and peeling—the exhibition repositions objects as sites where histories accumulate\, revealing both care and neglect. \nAn assemblage of unstable forms\, the would-be furnishings and tools that comprise I am a Handyman are as strange as they are familiar. While they relate to the body at the domestic scale\, they unsettle expectations of function\, deflating under the pressure of usefulness. In the process\, Fortin’s work considers our shared fate with objects and invites viewers to reflect on their relationships with everyday materials. \nClick here for more info.

DESCRIPTION:April 9 + April 16 | 6pm – 8pm | 119 Wyndham St N (Art Not Shame) \n*$30-$50 sliding scale for workshop series\, register below! \nIn this workshop we will use fabric\, yarn and various other materials to create a unique doll made with love and intention. \nThis class is for anyone who wants to learn about doll making for fun or ritual.

While we strive to make all of our programs free of charge\, we do not always have the resources to do so. When a program is offered for a fee\, those who are able to pay are encouraged to do so\, while those who cannot will receive the necessary support. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate\, regardless of their financial circumstances\, while maintaining our commitment to fair wages for artists. Please email maeve.hind@artnotshame.org if cost is a barrier. \nAbout the Facilitator \nAlisa McRonald is a contemporary textile artist creating work that celebrates fairytales\, folklore and queerness with a vintage/kitsch/pop lens. \nShe loves to rescue other handmade items such as quilts and afghans from thrift shops and rummage sales. For her\, these items represent many hours of skills and hands full of love. Alisa is passionate about using reclaimed textiles and has made a commitment to use as much as possible in her work (she’s nearing 100%).

SUMMARY:The Complete Works of William Shakespeare\, Guelph Little Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The cultural touchstone that is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three inspired\, charismatic comics\, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs\, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon\, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is one of the world’s most frequently produced plays and has been translated into several dozen languages. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays\, meant to be performed in 97 minutes\, by three actors. Fast paced\, witty\, and physical\, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. The original version was followed by the 2010 REVISED version\, and this latest REVISED AGAIN version includes changes that celebrate and encourage greater diversity and inclusivity in today’s theater! \n

SUMMARY:The Weight of Stains\, The Wait of Time | Stephanie Fortin
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Stephanie Fortin’s practice is an ethical inquiry: is it necessary—or responsible—to aestheticize waste in the context of global exploitation and climate change? Engaging with forms and sites at the fringes of development—from the trees of urban forests to the industrial ruins of salvage yards—she examines how their surfaces reveal the entanglement of human activity and ecological systems. During the summer of 2024\, Fortin developed her approach in situ at a wrecking yard\, “recovering” rusted car hoods through a distinctive transfer process. Working with discarded vehicles\, she placed reclaimed silk over the corroded metal\, applying acetic acid. As the reaction unfolded overnight\, rust—acting as both residue and pigment—was lifted onto the textile. \nAiming beyond documentation\, Fortin’s materials engage with time\, climate\, and intervention\, exposing the socio-political histories embedded within them. The resulting images bear traces of decay and transformation\, making visible the residues of extraction and consumption. Throughout her work\, materiality\, pigment\, and process converge to confront the affective potential of such material encounters\, drawing attention to the subconscious and visceral responses they evoke. In doing so\, she challenges viewers to reconsider how spaces and objects deemed obsolete continue to shape both the present and future. \nClick here for more info.
