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

Metal gated fence stands infront of grassed area with trees. Sign above entry reads: "Lakeshore Psychiatric Hospital Cemetery 1890-1979"

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

Third Floor Gallery Student Welcome and Resource Centre 2 Col. Samuel Smith Park Dr, Etobi

Soul Existence

Featuring Artist Susannah Smith

​

January 23 - April 14, 2023

​

New Toronto based artist Susannah Smith is continually inspired by the landscape and histories in South Etobicoke as reflective and contemplative spaces. Drawing connections between the natural world and its cycles with her own journey with mental health, Soul Existence presents the original artwork and stories in the words of the artist herself.

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 guiding pillars 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.
