Bursting with Colour is our summer art exhibit, on display from July 4 to September 4, 2024.
Summer in the City is a time for inspiration and experiences. This group show focuses on the joy that colour gives during the warm summer days. It is a mix of approaches, media and subjects, to capture a feeling and the energy that colour conveys.

Like so many great artists, Heliconian Club artists are also inspired by colour.

This show is available for private viewing through the summer, weekdays by appointment, call 416 922 3618 or email: [email protected]
