Join us Mother’s Day weekend for an artist talk with JoEllen Brydon, shaped by the multigenerational dialogue embedded in her work.
Rooted in her mother’s archive, the exhibition traces a conversation that moves between generations, voices, and lived experience. Through vulnerable questions and lively advice exchanged on newsprint between people who would likely never meet, the archive brings forward stories of our shared humanity, as relevant today as when they were first published.
Brydon has interpreted this rich archive, continuing her practice of bringing documented stories to life through painting and installation. In this exhibition, Brydon was joined by her daughters, opening space for a live exchange that considers what is passed down, what is shared openly, and what is whispered.
📅 Saturday, May 9
🕑 2:00 – 4:00 PM
Free to attend. All are welcome.

Big news! We`re excited to welcome Casandra Lee to the AGP as our new Education Program Coordinator 🎉
Casandra is a mother, educator, and artist who has been connected with the gallery in many ways over the years, most recently as an Art Educator in the AGP studio. A practicing visual artist and author, her work centres storytelling, inclusivity, and vibrant colour.
You may recognize her work from the 2023 ReFrame Film Festival, or from "Under an Apple Tree," in the City of Peterborough`s public art collection at the Peterborough Sport and Wellness Centre. Casandra is also the writer and illustrator of two children`s books, "The Sun Dance" (2014) and "Building a Home" (2021), commissioned by the New Canadians Centre.
We`re so happy to have her step into this role and continue building accessible, engaging art experiences for our community.
Welcome, Casandra!
