In June, 2022, the Quinte Arts Council celebrated the fourth annual Everyone Under the Rainbow Show. A time to embrace freedom of identity and expression across the gender and sexuality spectrums. It’s also for allies to show their solidarity to those in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. According to the LGTBQ+ Danger Index for 2022, Canada ranked number one as the safest county for people in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to live in and visit. Mexico ranks 50th on the danger index. Local artist Luisé Cisneros, a student at the Ontario College of Art and Design University, has created an art installation focused on the dangers facing the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Mexico.

In partnership with the Dufferin County Multicultural Foundation, the MoD presents the Dufferin County Multicultural Art Show: Unity in Diversity. Featuring the works of 43 visual artists from across Ontario in the historic Lodge Gallery. Each artist has created works that reflect their own culture or the theme of “unity in diversity”.

The “InHERitance” art exhibit will accompany The Quiet Immigrant Project. An invitation is extended to visual artists from all diasporas to express what they have “inherited” from a strong matriarch in their lives. The call is for original works of art in any two-dimensional form (drawing, painting, mixed media, photography).
