The Women’s Art Association of Canada (WAAC) presents Keeping Dreams, an evocative group exhibition poised to unravel the intricate tapestry of resilience and the pursuit of happiness. Set to grace the walls of WAAC’s Dignam Gallery in Toronto from March 22 to April 13, 2024, this group show brings together artists from across Ontario from diverse backgrounds and disciplines exploring the depths of human experience. From personal narratives of triumph over adversity to symbolic representations of endurance, artists unveil their stories through paint, photography, mixed media, video, sculpture and more.

Artworks in Keeping Dreams stimulate an open space for dialogue, reflection, and connection, where diverse perspectives converge to illuminate the strength inherent in the human spirit. Visitors are welcomed to consider their journeys of resilience, find solace, understanding for one another, and inspiration in the power of storytelling through art.
