Curated by Michael Adamson, Reception is a public group exhibition of paintings, “the initial idea for the RECEPTION exhibition was inspired by the work I was seeing these artists doing online over the last few years. I was particularity interested with the idea of time and place”. This show presents a cross section of Canadian painters working in the present.  There was a concerted effort to include painters who are concerned with a personal journey into the varied aesthetics and rich history of painting in Canada.

The painters featured in the exhibition are as follows, Rebecca Banfi, Dana Cowie, Nicole Katsuras, Sara MacCulloch, David Bastedo, Michael Burke, Adam Billy Clayton, John Ford, Clint Griffin, Phil Irish, Kai Liu, David Marshak, Lanny Shereck, Bruce Thomas and Michael Adamson.
