Upcoming Exhibits
All of our in-person exhibition spaces are now open to Humber students, staff and faculty.
While we work on re-opening to the public, we invite you to visit us virtually: we have a collection of digital exhibits and projects for you to explore. Additional resources are listed on our home page.
Below you will find a list of projects we are working on for when we re-open.
Interpretive Centre
Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery
Date to be determined.
There are 1,511 individuals buried in the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery at the corner of Horner and Evans Avenues - a cemetery that was almost lost due to industrial development in the area. Thanks to the efforts of community mental health advocates, the Cemetery is today a protected and peaceful resting space with a gated entrance and historic signage.
This exhibit will highlight the story of the Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital cemetery and the people who fought to save it.
Third Floor Gallery
Pat Rice
June 2022 - September 2022.
Admire the wonder and intrinsic beauty of the trees of the Long Branch neighbourhood where artist Pat Rice grew up. A community that was once lakefront cottage country that could be reached in 45 minutes by steamer from Toronto, a few old growth oak trees still remain hidden in plain sight among the houses in the area. They give a hint to how this land had once been heavily forested.
Lisa Compton
Date to be determined.
Experience another perspective on animals commonly thought to be dangerous or pestilential and develop a new understanding of the influence of urban expansion on local wildlife. Reflect on past assumptions, develop an appreciation for our natural neighbours, and learn how to safely cohabitate in our shared spaces.

Susannah Smith
Date to be determined.
More information coming soon!
Propose an Exhibition
We feature solo and group art shows on the third floor of the Student Welcome and Resource Centre and also welcome contributions to our bi-annual exhibitions in the Interpretive Centre's main space in WEL104. Themes must connect to one of our four pillars (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.
