Artists gracefully sharing diversity: Lee Horton-Carter Tanya Murdoch Bill Novak Lauren Wilson  All works are for sale through the artist.  This show runs from Jan. 18- March 22, 2026 Curatorial Statement The cultural movement towards individuality is growing. Personal growth and self-awareness are becoming more accepted in our culture. We should applaud this growth. This show is a celebration in diversity. Lee Horton-Carter’s work inspired the idea when she revealed a piece that had a visible minority of ability dancing. This started a dialogue of “what don’t we often see but does exist?”. In some cultures, same sex marriage is illegal punishable by death, in Canada , thankfully, it is commonplace. People in wheelchairs can be chained to inactivity by societies notion of “Can’t”. Yet, the possibilities are as wide as our vision – so some rise above and  strive for doing it all. Diversity makes us stronger. We should show off our uniqueness , not, hide it.  Labels created about body image,  aga, Neurodivergence, ethnicity, sexual orientation, economic strata, even ways with which we navigate the world are often seen as different, possibly even negatively. We should view them as an opportunity on how to do things differently. ~Lauren McKinley Renzetti January 2026
