Bring the whole family to Oakville Galleries for a free art workshop using chalk pastels! To celebrate the spring season, this workshop will take place outside in Gairloch Gardens.

Join us over Zoom for a free virtual exhibition tour led by Oakville Galleries' Assistant Curator, Theresa Wang.

Artists Donna James and Jin-me Yoon, whose works are featured in our fall exhibition, both focus on the relationship between quotidian, individual histories and dominant discourses about identity. Join Yoon and James in conversation as they unpack their works in the exhibition and discuss the ways in which image-making devices can tackle complex topics of memory, place, and history.

Get smart about art with hands-on workshops at your local art museum! Lessons put a kid-friendly twist on our current exhibitions, offering an inspiring starting point to build an impressive portfolio of artworks.

Expanding on the themes in Two Truths and a Lie, poet and translator Fan Wu hosts a free, one-day creative writing workshop rethinking deceit beyond its traditional contexts of betrayal and bad intention.

Join us as we use our imaginations to explore some of the world's most famous museums and the treasures they hold! As a group, we will design our very own exhibitions and artworks of our dreams. The second-half of the workshop will include stories connecting to the theme of the day.

Join us online for an hour of enjoyment, as we explore the cross-over of meditation and art appreciation.

As a counterpart to our Artist Talk with Jin-me Yoon and Donna James from last fall, Oakville Galleries is pleased to present an Artist Talk with Stan Denniston and Erdem Taşdelen. In this online talk, Denniston and Taşdelen will speak to their works in Two Truths and a Lie and discuss the ways in which photography as a medium can interrogate implicit power structures built into the ways in which narratives are read and interpreted. Together, the artists ask viewers to negotiate photography's privileged status as a record of memory and veracity.

Demagogues: 6 by Erdem Taşdelen is a site-specific photographic print located at Centennial Square in Oakville. Displayed in the public square, Demagogues: 6 asks viewers to interrogate beliefs held about the image and to consider the effect of deception and the possibility of locating common truths.
