Re-Assembly: Emboldening the Temporal

October 17th - November 27th, 2024
Ian Stone, The Musicians, 2022

This exhibition brings together the work of 11 of Dawson’s most recognized Visual Arts Alumni with that of their former teacher—artist, writer, and curator Giuseppe (Joe) Di Leo.

Celebrating the reciprocal and circular journey between mentor and mentees, the exhibition will focus on the multi-faceted forms of drawing: abbreviated gestures, sketches schematics, faithfully rendered recordings, executed in a range of treatment and approaches on any surface.  Revealing the multiplicities and meanderings of human existence, these artists present drawing as a means to  probe, record, and conger vivid expressions of imagined and complex realities.

Renee Condo: Shifting Perspectives

March 30th - May 6th, 2023
Renee Condo, MNTU series, 2021

My work explores a connecting thread between Mi’gmaw and Eurocentric worldviews, using a visual language that is both symbolic and literal. It is enriched by the history of the bead to carry knowledge, communicate, evoke, and express Spirit. I embrace the bead as infinite potentiality, appearing divided, as part, and at once whole and all-encompassing. (Renee Condo)

Renee Condo (b.1979) is a contemporary visual artist of Mi’gmaw ancestry from the community of Gesgapegiag, Quebec.

Untitled: Dawson College Commercial Photography

Seven students, including Fiona Campanelli, Valeria Cori-Manocchio, Surah Field-Green, Nicholas Gagnon, Molière Solon, Nadim Zakkour and Atena Zare, showcase their work in portraiture, fashion, product, sports photography and more.

Pareidolia: Dawson College Professional Photography

December 8th - 15th, 2022

Pareidolia is the ability to see or make pictures out of randomness.

This collection of work by Dawson’s third-year photography students embodies how they see people, places or objects in their world.

Twenty two students are showing their work, including: Ayah Alatrash, Yisségnon-Chris Avosse, Sophie Becquet, Samuel Bermudez Fernandez, Lemuel Campbell, Mark Cedeno Moreno, Emma Cloghesy, Emma Diz-Giguère, Jilliane Flores, Jade Franco-Ehrmann, Alexe Grignard, Elizabeth Huppé, Sandra Kucko, Desireen Layne, Bramanda Mahaputra, Nour Naggar-Osama, Maya Naidu, Thibault Quach, Damon Roloff, Bianca Tedeschi, Mateo Vega Cantu, and Daphné Voisine.

Biennial 15 marks 30 years of Dawson Fine Arts Faculty members exhibiting their current art works at the Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery. It continues this long tradition of investigating the relationship between art making and learning, as well as reflects on the history of the biennial.

All faculty—past and present—of the Fine Arts department will have images and texts in the catalogue which accompanies the exhibition. There will also be a sound component containing faculty’s responses to the question of how the biennial has played a role in the pedagogical innovations of Dawson’s reputed Fine Arts Department.

Anna Williams, Remedy, 2017

The Warren G. Flowers Art Gallery is pleased to present the work of Ottawa-based artist Anna Williams. This is the first Montreal exhibition of Williams, who has created technically and conceptually complex prints and bronze sculptures which reinterpret female roles, gender conformity, and attitudes towards nature in classical Greek myths.

a meadow holds many life-forms

June 10th - August 24th, 2022

Like any ecosystem, a healthy meadow displays diversity and sustains that divergence and difference over time.




Resistance and Resilience: An online exhibition

October 8th, 2020 - June 30th, 2022

Exhibit website: resistanceresilience.dawsoncollege.qc.ca

Twelve artists from first or second generation migrant/immigrant racialized communities of colour present work exploring  the  racism and systemic oppression they have experienced.   At times poetic, at times harrowing, their work in video, sculpture, installation and textiles seeks to open up dialogue and complexify discussions surrounding migration and narratives of nationalism, benevolence, and fear.

Initially proposed by Diana Rice of the Dawson College Centre for Peace, the exhibition was also conceived to include student, or emerging artists, who were selected by a jury following an open call for submissions.
