As Canada and the nation's capital gets ready to celebrate it's 150th year, Toronto based artist, Marjolyn Van der Hart explores Canadian midcentury history in shaping our identity. Canada was perceived as the great outdoors during the 1950s and 60s. Working with vintage advertising and postcards, Marjolyn Van der Hart creates works that see Canada as a place to escape into an untouched wilderness that can be explored and experienced.
Project SPACE is pleased to welcome award winning photographer, Michelle Valberg with new scenes of Canada for Canada 150.
For over 28 years, Michelle Valberg has photographed Canadian landscapes and wildlife with the intention of regenerating simple beauty into a deeper reflection of humanity. Valberg’s portrayals of the natural world aim to draw viewers toward inner contemplation, based on the idea that building awareness and educating others through nature photography can inspire people to be better stewards of the natural world. By developing a deeper understanding of the interconnections between people, animals, and the environment, she believes that others can be motivated to take action in their local communities and beyond.
Valberg is one of seven Canadian Nikon Ambassadors and the first Canadian Geographic Photographer-in-Residence.

Project SPACE in our Trian Yards location is so proud to open with new works by Crystal Beshara.
"From verdant hillsides to barren windswept cliffs, my newest works weave imagery between the real and the mystic - where tales of past and present collide like waves crashing against jagged rock. This show features both oils and watercolours as recalled by memories and experiences from my travels exploring the boundaries between realism and expressionism." (Crystal Beshara, 2017)
inspired by film noir and Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone, Toronto artist Kelly Grace explores film narratives, nostalgia, and person memory in her newest work. Between Light and Shadow will encompass much larger pieces than Grace's past body of work, as well as paintings done in vintage cigarette tins, and works on paper. J
