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:Guelph Musicfest presents the Penderecki Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Jerzy Kaplanek violin\, Jeremy Bell violin\, Christine Vlajk viola\, Katie Schlaikjer cello\, with guest pianist Ken Gee \nPROGRAM: Beethoven Quartet No. 8 in E minor\, Op. 59\, No. 2 (“Razumovsky”); Penderecki String Quartet No. 3\, “Leaves of an Unwritten Diary” (2008); Dvořák Piano Quintet No. 2 in A major\, Op. 81 \nCelebrating its 40th anniversary\, the Penderecki String Quartet returns to Guelph Musicfest. The PSQ began its career as winner of the Penderecki Prize at the National Chamber Music Competition in Łódź\, Poland in 1986. Now based in Waterloo\, Ontario\, where it has been Quartet-in-Residence at Wilfrid Laurier University since 1991\, The Penderecki String Quartet has become one of the most celebrated chamber ensembles of their generation. The four Penderecki musicians (now originating from Poland\, Canada\, and the USA) bring their varied yet collective experience to create performances that demonstrate their “remarkable range of technical excellence and emotional sweep” (Toronto\, Globe and Mail). \nThe PSQ’s international performing schedule has included appearances in New York (Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall)\, Amsterdam (Concertgebouw)\, Hong Kong (Academy for the Arts)\, Los Angeles (REDCAT Hall at Disney Center)\, St. Petersburg (Sheremetev Palace)\, the Adam Festival in New Zealand\, and throughout Europe in Rome\, Madrid\, Paris\, Belgrade\, Prague\, Krakow\, Vilnius\, and Zagreb. The PSQ has also toured extensively in Mexico\, Australia\, Venezuela\, Brazil\, Colombia\, and across Canada. Dedicated educators\, the PSQ have been recent guests at Bloomington\, Indiana University’s String Academy; the Beijing Conservatory; the University of Southern California (Los Angeles); the University of British Columbia in Vancouver; and at their partner universities in Osnabrück\, Germany and Lyon\, France. To this day\, the PSQ is a devoted champion of the music of our time\, having premiered over 100 new works from composers in Canada and abroad. \nPenderecki Quartet’s large discography includes over three dozen recordings\, including the chamber music repertoire of Beethoven and Brahms on both the Marquis and Eclectra labels\, as well as the first Canadian release of the six Béla Bartók quartets. Their disc of Marjan Mozetich’s “Lament in the Trampled Garden” won the 2010 JUNO Award for Best Composition. In October 2013\, the PSQ worked with Maestro Krzysztof Penderecki on his Third Quartet (2008) and performed it at Symphony Space in New York City on the occasion of his 80th birthday. This was followed by the recording of Penderecki’s Third Quartet along with quartets of Norbert Palej on the Marquis label. In 2022\, the PSQ was featured in Howard Shore’s soundtrack to David Cronenberg’s film Crimes of the Future. The Penderecki Quartet has performed with diverse artists such as Atar Arad\, Jeremy Menuhin\, Stewart Goodyear\, James Campbell and has recently appeared with jazz saxophonist Jane Bunnett\, jazz pianists Egberto Gismonti\, Don Thomson and David Braid\, pipa virtuoso Ching Wong\, Dancetheatre David Earle\, Pentaedre Wind Quintet\, actor Colin Fox\, and New York turntable artist DJ Spooky. \nThe Penderecki Quartet continue to be active members of the Faculty of Music at Laurier University\, where they have built the string program to be one of the top programs in Canada\, attracting an international body of students. Their annual Quartetfest at Laurier is an intensive study seminar and concert series that has featured such ensembles as the Tokyo\, Fine Arts\, Lafayette\, Miro\, Ying\, and Ariana String Quartets. \nThis is the final concert of the Spring series in Guelph Musicfest’s 20th Anniversary Season!

Moderato ma appassionato; Dinuk Wijeratne Love Triangle (2013\, written for the Gryphon Trio); Dvořák Piano Trio No. 3 in F minor\, Op. 65 (B.130) \nThe endlessly inventive Gryphon Trio has captivated international audiences for over 30 years with dynamic\, deeply expressive performances. Recognized among the world’s leading piano trios\, the Gryphon bridges tradition and innovation with repertoire spanning European classicism to 21st-century multimedia\, redefining chamber music for today. \nTheir discography of 22 acclaimed recordings on Analekta\, Ondine\, and Naxos includes works by Haydn\, Mozart\, Beethoven\, Schubert\, Mendelssohn\, Dvořák\, Ravel\, Shostakovich\, and Piazzolla\, as well as by contemporary composers such as Valentin Silvestrov\, Christos Hatzis\, and Kelly-Marie Murphy.

SUMMARY:Helen Martin speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Quilts and Their Stories\n\nRoyal City Quilters’ Guild’s own Helen Martin’s love of vintage/antique quilts began when her mother gave her wedding quilt to Helen and her its story. This was also the beginning of Helen’s hobby collecting quilts\, blocks and tops from the early 1800s\, four-block quilts from the 1870s\, crazy quilts from the late 1800s\, red work quilts from the 1920\,  and the beautiful 1930s quilts up to quilts she has made. \nVisit https://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass. You may credit this purchase towards your membership fee later. \n\n\nHelen’s Bio\nHelen began quilting in approximately 1965. Her mother made a quilt for our wedding in 1963 and had used the good corners of old flannelette sheets for filler. Then she discovered polyester batting and the tiny quilting stitches she make using it. She took our quilt apart and I helped her re-quilt it. This was Helen’s first attempt at quilting and she loved it. Helen has been quilting ever since.
