We are going on a bus trip to the Varley Art Gallery of Markham. Join us for a private tour of summer exhibitions, Between the Current and the Echo, and All Aboard! Tickets: $80, purchased in person at the gallery OR by phone, 905-732-0333 About the exhibitions: Between the Current and the Echo The Varley Art Gallery presents the Z’otz* Collective, a multidisciplinary trio composed of Nahúm Flores, Erik Jerezano, and Ilyana Martínez. Of Latin American heritage, they merge drawing, painting, ceramics, and animation to create playful, storytelling-driven works that blend tradition with contemporary experimentation. Their art features bold lines, surreal imagery, and hybrid creatures inspired by mythologies, fables, and Pre-Hispanic art forms. Since 2004, the Collective has developed a unique communal process, passing works between members to build layered, evolving compositions. All Aboard! From horse-drawn carriages to camper vans, artists have traveled far and wide, gathering the experiences that fuel their creativity. This exhibition traces their journeys, from 19th-century Europe to 20th-century Canada to 21st-century Tibet, revealing how diverse landscapes and encounters continue to inspire artists and challenge our perceptions of the world. As with all our collections-based exhibitions, All Aboard! draws from our holdings to bring these journeys to light, offering fresh insights into overlooked pieces and showcasing works being displayed for the first time.
