Being Scene is Workman Arts’ most anticipated visual arts exhibition series, held annually since 2001. This Spring, join us for the 22nd Being Scene, and celebrate over 40 artists exhibiting work in three different venues across the city.
This year’s Being Scene features a juried exhibition and an exhibition titled Un/Common Threads, curated by Kat Singer.
History of Being Scene:
The Being Scene exhibition began over 20 years ago on the grounds of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). Since, Being Scene has exhibited a juried survey of over 100 artworks by Workman Arts member artists as well as artists with lived experience who have received services from CAMH. Last year, Workman Arts introduced a smaller curated portion as part of the overall exhibit. Working closely with a guest curator, artists gave shape to compelling ideas and narratives, covering a wide range of conceptual and material approaches from diverse experiences. Due to the pandemic the exhibition was completely virtual. The exhibition has been shown in spaces such as The Gladstone Hotel, Toronto Media Arts Centre (TMAC) and at CAMH. Going forward, Being Scene will continue to thrive in local spaces and online.
