Accents: Collaborative Art Exhibition

Official Event Poster

Accents: Collaborative Arts Exhibition showcases young, international and practicing artists like: Alex Jowett, Gilda Monreal (Fiya Bruxa), N’Dri Paul Kouadio, Quentin “Vercetty” Lindsay, Shaniqueki Bartley and Thomas Haskell. The purpose of this exhibition is to collaborate with artists of different ages, philosophies, educational background and of different artistic techniques, to express the topic of identity. This topic of identity, expressed in paintings, sculptures, and photography, will bring individual ideas to a single space. These different expressions, as a result, will create a temporary community of thoughts that will be on display at the Samuel J. Zacks Gallery.

This project, Accents: Collaborative Arts Exhibition, is part of a group of collaborative exhibitions in educational institutions, across the city of Toronto, organized by Accents Bookstore Collective of Artists, during 2012. These groups of artists have been participating in the monthly Visual Arts program “Art in the Evening” at Accents Bookstore, in the busy area of Eglinton Avenue West and Dufferin Street.

Accents: Collaborative Arts Exhibition proposes to articulate different notions/perceptions of identity, race and cultural awareness within a multicultural context.
