The current Heliconian Club Visual Artist-in-Residence, Tanya Murdoch, will be presenting a solo exhibition in June 2025 entitled I am Here and You are Here and They are Here and We are Here Together. It will be an eclectic, multi-faceted, non hierarchical mix of work around themes of nature, connection, love and acceptance, to counter the idea that there is only one way of being human. It will contain work created at the Heliconian, recent drawings and paintings in conversation with older (never exhibited) pieces and some video, with some work and presentation done in collaboration with members and artists from the Works-in -Progress Collective. From the artist: "I want the show to reflect the community I have connected to over the past year in residence, plus highlight the connections and community that still exist in these disconnected times. I am motivated to create work that reflects the beautiful kaleidoscope of life, where no one is normal and everyone has value. We are all here together." FREE public viewings on: Saturday June 7 from 2-5pm Wednesday June 11 from 4:30-7pm Tuesday June 24 from 4:30-7:30pm The show is supported with an exhibition grant from the Ontario Arts Council and the government of Ontario. Gallery location: Heliconian Hall, 35 Hazelton Ave, Toronto ON, M5R 2E3 Not able to make our public events? Please contact us at info@heliconianclub.org to arrange a viewing

Mining for Memoire with Kate Marshall Flaherty
Tuesday, July 29, 2025, 1:00 - 4:00 PM (Prose writers at all levels welcome)
Memoire is a magical platform for self-discovery. Through memoire we make sense of memories. A simple smell, object, photograph or line can crack open our world, bringing us back to a past scene that sheds light on the present.
We’ll delve into prompts that stimulate writing, realizing the power of story. We all have touching, terrifying, tearful stories worthy of writing down. Themes we explore in memoire are both personal and universal, which connects us to ourselves as well as our readers.
Come … “Write your way home.”
Kate Marshall Flaherty has published seven poetry books, one play produced at the Great Canadian Theatre Co., many CNF essays, and one memoire-in-the-making. She's been published in CV2, Vallum, Grain, Room, Trinity Review, The Literary Review of Canada, Event and Tamarack Review and others, and has won many awards. She has currently gives memoire workshops online, in libraries and community centres. She guides workshops in the AWA Method, a safe space to take writing risks and develop craft organically, where each unique voice is valued, and the power of story is supported. She guides StillPoint Writing and Editing Circles in person and online.
