Grace: One Story of Thousands

September 3, 2024 - June 27, 2025

By appointment

  

Grace: One Story of Thousands follows the life and experiences of Grace, one of the 1,511 people buried in the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery at the corner of Horner and Evans Avenues in south Etobicoke. Through personal letters and surviving hospital records gathered by Grace’s great-niece, you are invited to pause and reflect on a life lived – not defined – by the institutional system in Ontario.

With a shift toward historical accuracy, personhood, and agency, the Interpretive Centre invites you to experience history through a new perspective.

We feature solo and group art shows on the second and third floor of the Student Welcome and Resource Centre and also welcome contributions to our exhibitions in the Interpretive Centre's main space in WEL104.

 

Themes must connect to one of our four guiding themes of Indigenous heritage, mental health history, educational heritage, or ecology, and/or highlight the local history of the Lakeshore Grounds region. Submissions are encouraged both from community members and students. We support artists of all experience levels.
