VISUAL ART SHOW AND RECEPTION CALENDAR

Art exhibitions in the Hall change on a regular basis. In addition to providing all of the artwork on display, members of the Visual Arts section curate and hang the shows. Monthly Saturday afternoon receptions are open to the public. Viewing outside of the reception time must be arranged in advance with the artist or the office (416-922-3618) and is subject to Hall and staff availability. With the exception of the Annual Life Drawing Show, group and solo exhibitions only accept works from current Heliconian members.

    ABSTRACTION Art Show & Sale

    Exhibition runs from February 26 to April  02, 2026 

    In fine art, the process of abstraction refers to the creation of art with little or no intent to produce a realistic representation or tell a story. Colour, line, form, and gestural marks are key elements in abstract art, of which there are many styles. Hilma af Klint, a Swedish female artist and mystic, produced the first major abstract works in Western art history, several years before the works of Kandinsky, Malevich and Mondrian, who are typically credited as being the founders of abstract art.

    Come see new works by Canadian women painters, all inspired by the abstract art movement!

    Visual Arts Exhibit: The Colour of Light ~ works by Vivian East, Henrietta Walmark & Barbara Muir

    Exhibition runs from April 2 to April 29, 2026

    Barbara Muir, one of the exhibiting artists, provides the original conception of this creative collaboration:


    “A wonderful thing about being a member of the Visual Arts section of the Heliconian Club is becoming friends with inspiring artists. I met Henrietta Walmark, an exceptional photographer, at a Heliconian opening. Then I followed her on Instagram and was blown away by her work – the beauty she sees and captures, and of course the colours and light in every photo are truly remarkable. “In a joking conversation we talked about having a show together, and then let it go. So, imagine my surprise when weeks later Henrietta DM’d me saying “Let’s do it.” Thinking it over we decided it would be a good idea to have one more artist join us, and so we asked Vivian East, whose oil paintings exude the mystery of the natural world.


    “The three of us share a desire to put a positive world view out there in a highly disturbing time by channeling joy, beauty and mystery. AND, all three of us like a playful view of exciting colour in art. I am so delighted to have this opportunity to show my work with two incredible friends.”

    Free public viewings:

    • Opening reception: Friday  April 3, 2026  from 2:00 p.m.- 5:00 p.m
    • Saturday April 4, 2026 from 2:00p.m -5:00 p.m
    • Wednesday  April 8 from 4:00 p.m.- 7:30 p.m
