The Riverdale Hub Gallery is excited to present “The Moore Sisters: DEEP ROOTS“ by Nancy L. Moore and Janet Moore. On view from October 7th to November 3rd, 2026.

The Moore family has always been especially creative, with art and imagination woven into their lives from the beginning. Their father, Wayne, often painted en plein air, sharing his love of nature and the experience of painting outdoors. Deep Roots brings Nancy and Janet together for the first time to celebrate those family roots—and the different ways that creativity continues to grow through their own work.

Nancy explores nature through abstraction, using expressive lines, rich textures, and bold colours to capture mood, feeling, and a sense of place. Her work also reflects her concern for the environment, drawing attention to issues such as deforestation and tree conservation. Janet, based in Fernie, British Columbia, draws inspiration directly from the Rocky Mountain landscapes around her. An avid hiker, biker, and snowboarder, she often paints en plein air, creating vibrant, impressionistic works that capture the light, colour, and energy of the places she encounters.

Reception and Artist Talk this Saturday! ✨

The Riverdale Hub Gallery is pleased to present“Dakiimi / To have land“ by Amber Quail. On view from September 15th to October 3rd.

⏰ Time: 2 - 4pm
🎤 Artist talk at 3pm

Iconography in Western culture has been a central theme in Amber‘s visual arts practice. Familiar household archetypes, reimagined through an Indigenous lens, invite the viewer to consider alternate truths from those of the dominant culture.

An off-reserve member of Alderville First Nation, Amber’s practice is based out of Tkaronto and South Algonquin. In this exhibition, Dakiimi / To have land, the iconic board game, “Monopoly” serves as both the anchor and spark for reflection on land theft and greed. The game Monopoly’s objective, to acquire all the land and force others into a state of poverty until they are no longer able to participate, draws strong parallels to our shared history, namely, the acts of colonial violence that are rooted in an insatiable appetite for land and natural resources. These ideas are amplified through a vibrant combination of beadwork, mixed media pieces and paintings.

Join us for the reception celebrating Learning Through Art: An Introduction to Indigenous Cultural Practices!🎨✨

Following eight workshops held from April through June, led by Indigenous artists Kathlene Eley, Marcel Charlebois, Mel Bartel, and Bradley J. Reinhardt, this exhibition brings together the artists’ own work alongside pieces created by workshop participants.

Through art-making, and conversation, the workshops created opportunities to explore Indigenous artistic practices, knowledge, resilience, and the experiences of belonging. The exhibition celebrates the creativity and learning that emerged from this meaningful exchange.

We are also honoured to welcome Diane Montreuil, a Métis Algonquin artist and Knowledge Keeper, who will lead a smudging ceremony as part of the exhibition. Diane’s own artistic practice draws deeply on the teachings of her ancestors and explores identity, heritage, resilience, and the enduring strength of Indigenous traditions. A selection of Diane‘s paintings will also be on display during this exhibition.

We invite you to come experience the artwork, meet the artists and participants, and share in the culmination of this inspiring program.

We would also like to sincerely thank the Canada Council for the Arts for its generous support of this program and for helping make this meaningful opportunity possible.

This Saturday, meet the artist behind “Amensalism”….

Curtia Wright is a Toronto-based multidisciplinary Fine Artist, Mural Artist, & Arts Educator. She received her BFA in Drawing & Painting from OCAD University in 2015.

Her work fuses elements of fantasy, sci-fi, & surrealism, using vibrant, transportive colours to animate their environments. Using the human figure to showcase narratives centred around her lived experience, Curtia explores mental health, metaphysics, and the ephemerality of dreams & memory through a sci-fi lens.

Beyond her studio practice, she has collaborated on public art projects & commercial and private mural commissions across Canada & internationally!

Come experience her new body of work in person at the Hub Gallery🌟
