Cinders McLeod
DRAWS THE LINE
The John B. Aird Gallery is pleased to present Draws the Line, featuring the work of Cinders McLeod, an online feature accompanied by the solo show at The Arts & Letters Club of Toronto
A milestone worth celebrating!
The John B. Aird Gallery is proud to share that works first exhibited at the Aird have been acquired by the Government of Ontario Art Collection, stewarded by the Archives of Ontario.
Works by Arnie Guha, Robert Houle, Shawn Johnston, Ilene Sova, and Natalie Wood have been added to the collection, marking a meaningful recognition of both the artists and the Gallery’s ongoing commitment to presenting significant contemporary art in Ontario.
On behalf of the Aird Board and our partner societies, we warmly congratulate the artists on this important milestone.
