The museum is a vibrant public space where members of Toronto’s diverse communities gather to discuss, to create, to perform and to socialize, giving life to the words “freedom of expression.”

Colour with a “U”

Colour with a “U” and its companion exhibition Colour with a “U” Too are juried exhibitions art quilts on the theme of diversity and inclusion by Canadian members of Studio Art Quilt Associates.

In Canada, we spell colour with a “u”. We care about the “u”, it makes us unique. We care about the “you”, it brings us together. SAQA artists have reflected on the theme of diversity and inclusion to give “colourful” representations of our Canadian cultural
identity. Each offers an individual perspective on how we as Canadians see ourselves in our social, historical and physical landscape.
Colour with a U was juried by Faith Hieblinger, Guest Curator, Homer Watson House & Gallery, Alan Syliboy, Mi’kmaq Artist, and Jayne Willoughby, Textile Artist. Colour with a U Too was juried by Dr. Debra Antoncic, Director/Curator of RiverBrink Art
Museum.

Colour with a “U” and Colour with a “U” Too will be at Campbell House Museum from April 1 – June 3.
