Wellness Network

Superimposition is a multi-artist show featuring community members who attended Wellness Network's art-based Recovery College course of the same name. These courses run multiple times throughout the year and provide those with lived experiences of mental health or addictions a chance to explore creativity in a supportive and collaborative environment. Participants attend 10 weekly sessions covering many different themes and techniques associated with Collage and Mixed-Media Art.

Much like the course, the show places an emphasis on expression through Collage and Mixed-Media art. This collection is curated to display a wide cross-section of artists with varying artistic experience levels across different mediums. The styles explored in the course that have been selected for this exhibit include surrealism, dada, decollage, and zines. This unique exhibit provides a platform for artists who normally wouldn't have the opportunity to display their work publicly. Enjoy the wonder of what can be created when a community focused on wellness comes together to express their lived-experiences through art.

Join us Friday June 6th for the grand opening of the exhibit. Doors to the Muttart Theatre open at 7pm for a panel discussion followed by a performance from local act Pearly Moon at 8pm. *Gallery exhibit is located in the Reading Room on the second floor of Stanley Milner.
