Oakville Galleries wants your photographs! In collaboration with the Oakville Beaver, we are inviting community members to submit photographs that explore what happens around their tables.
The public is invited to join Phil Irish and create maps and stories producing intimate cartographies about journey and place - about YOUR Oakville. Whereabouts interactive Web site is now live: click here to experience! Participate in Whereabouts by visiting the Web site or by joining Phil Irish on Sunday 27 November from 2 to 4 pm at Centennial Square for a Family Day of storytelling and map-making.

In the spring of 2002 Oakville residents collaborated with Susan Dobson, a local artist known for her documentation of a town's growth into generic urban sprawl. Seeing the details of the residents' living spaces through their eyes, Dobson worked to photographically "frame" their lives in the form of an image of a key room.
