Joyful Still Lives

Please note that this event takes place in Pamila Matharu's exhibition space at 32 Lisgar St.

In this workshop facilitated by artist Laura Dawe, participants will each paint a little still life. Historically and in the present day, still lifes famously celebrate the precarity of life and the beauty of transience. Through the close observation of the arranged objects on display, participants will ground themselves in the present moment, together. By painting side-by-side, the group will seek to achieve a state of communion and flow. All skill levels are welcome and no prior experience is necessary.

Doors: 11:45 AM | Starts: 12:00 PM | End: 1:30 PM

The Toronto Biennial of Art’s mission is to make contemporary art accessible to everyone. A ten-week event every two years, the Biennial commissions artists to create new works for a city-wide exhibition in dialogue with Toronto’s diverse local contexts. Year-round public and learning programs bridge Biennials and invite intergenerational audiences to explore the ideas that inspire our events. Building upon past editions and offering new ways of seeing and listening, each Biennial connects people to spark meaningful dialogues and imagine new futures. From September 21 to December 1, 2024, the TBA offers 10 weeks of free public art over 11 unique locations across Toronto.
