An Arts and Letters Exhibit.
Convenors: Brianna Caryll, Dougal Haggart
The show ran from April 4 to May 1, 2024
at ♿ Heliconian Hall, 35 Hazelton Ave., Toronto. The works may still be available; please contact the individual artist to inquire.
Heliconian visual artists were invited to contribute portraits of any subject in any media, to explore how portraiture is still relevant in an age of selfies and AI. The art on display may originate from encounters between the artist and herself, her subject or her imagination.
We also invited Heliconian writers to contribute pen portraits, or character sketches, to the exhibit.
Portraits, whether in words or in images, can embody an essence or an idea. They also reflect, to some degree, a portrait of the maker.
