New Neighbours: Collection in Focus

On view this summer in the Doris McCarthy Gallery vitrines, New Neighbours presents a selection of recent acquisitions that have been welcomed into the Collection over the last year. Living as an evolving, expansive neighbourhood of public art throughout our campus, the Collection offers unexpected discoveries and connections between artworks and their environments. New Neighbours showcases five artists who are connected to Scarborough, or whose work reflects its vibrant communities. This ever-growing network of artists invites us to consider the importance of kinship, optimism, and sense of place through relational accountability within our local suburban context. New Neighbours celebrates the artists whose works and unique voices broaden our self-awareness and reflect the spirit of our campus as a place of belonging.

The vitrines are located in the hallway outside of the gallery, on the ground level of the Bladen Wing. The Bladen Wing is open Monday to Sunday, 8 am - 11 pm; closed on statutory and university holidays.
