This exhibit confronts societal beliefs that have outlasted their usefulness, are dated, inappropriate or are just plain untrue. Themes include gender roles, equality, ideal bodies, aging and more. Artists were challenged to take a stereotype and address it in both their art and artist statement. The result is a dynamic display of over three dozen diverse pieces of art that take a stand against stereotypes.
Artist forums that are open to the public will be held on February 4th and March 4th from 1-3 pm. The forums give artists the opportunity to speak about their work and answer visitor questions. An evening event is also being planned for International Women’s Day on March 8 with further details coming soon.
Stereotype Smash runs from January 14 to March 18, 2022 (Tuesdaya to Saturday, 10 am to 4 pm) at the KHCC, 2920 King Rd., King City, Ontario, L7B 1L6. Admission by donation.
