The Gallery at L.E. Shore’s colour exhibition is back again! This year, we are excited to be celebrating the colour ORANGE.

The Exhibit
Each year, The Gallery’s Arts & Culture Council hosts a vibrant, color-themed exhibition, with past themes including blue, green, gold, turquoise, and more. Local artists are invited to submit artwork that aligns with the chosen color, and the exhibit is displayed in the "salon style," with artwork covering the walls from floor to ceiling. This format creates an eye-popping display featuring a range of interpretations of the theme.

The L.E. Shore Library, Craigleith Heritage Depot, and the Gallery at L.E. Shore are proud to welcome author Kathryn Magee Labelle and artist Catherine Tàmmaro in celebration of the book Daughters of Aatenstic: Life Lessons from Seven Generations.

Kathryn Labelle’s book Daughters of Aataentsic shares the powerful life stories of seven Wendat/waⁿdat women across seven generations. Spanning centuries and borders—from Ontario and Quebec to Kansas and Oklahoma—the book highlights how these women preserved culture, resisted colonialism, and shaped their communities.
