Please join OCAD University in celebrating the launch of The Sunshine Eaters, Onsite Gallery’s second exhibition in its new location!
We're happy to invite the OCAD U community to a special introductory tour by the exhibition's curator, Lisa Deanne Smith.
The Sunshine Eaters is an original multi-sensory exhibition that highlights how artists and designers look to the land and its plants, flowers and trees as a means to imagine and conjure hope in the face of local and global crises.
Featuring work by: Shary Boyle, Nick Cave, Robert Holmes, Jim Holyoak, Brian Jungen, Jessica Karuhanga, Alexandra Kehayoglou, Nina Leo and Moez Surani, Tony Matelli, Alanis Obomsawin, Ebony G. Patterson and Winnie Truong. Curated by Lisa Deanne Smith.
Exhibition runs January 10 to April 15, 2018.
The Sunshine Eaters launches to the public with an early evening artist’s conversation and a party as detailed below. All are welcome!
