Seen | Unseen 

The October Collective 

Quest Upper Gallery 
May 15th - July 3rd, 2026 

Seen | Unseen is an exhibition by the October Collective, featuring guest artist Amy Bagshaw. 

 

The October Collective is comprised of 3 artists: 

  • Pauline Bradshaw’s evocative figurative works.

  • Charlotte Williams’s atmospheric impressionistic landscapes.

  • Lindsay Smail’s movement-filled abstract pieces.
     

This exhibition invites viewers to explore the profound connection between our expansive external environment and the depths of introspective contemplation.

 

Additionally, on May 13th, Amy Bagshaw, the guest artist, will be installing a site-specific textile work and inviting the public to watch her as a performative installation. 


Opening Reception: Friday, May 15th, 2026 (7:00 PM - 9:00 PM).  

Abstract Color Painting

Abstraction

Quest Members Exhibition+ 

Quest Project Gallery 
May 15th - July 7th, 2026 

Abstraction invites Quest members to step away from representation and into the freedom of form, colour, texture, and gesture. This exhibition is an open call to play. To experiment boldly, try unfamiliar materials or techniques, and follow intuition wherever it leads.

Whether your work leans expressive, minimalist, chaotic, or contemplative, Abstraction celebrates the process as much as the final piece. Artists are encouraged to take creative risks, push boundaries, and embrace imperfection as part of discovery. This is a space where curiosity leads, rules soften, and joy in making takes centre stage.

We invite our community at large to submit artwork that illustrates the concept of Abstraction.

Up to two pieces of art per artist. Artwork should not exceed 40 x 30 inches 

Intake Day: Friday, May 8th, 2026 (9:00 AM - 4:00 PM) 

Hanging Fee For Non-Members: $20 per painting 

Hanging Fee For Members: Free 
Opening Reception: Friday, May 15th, 2026 (6:00 PM - 8:00 PM).

Warmth

Quest Members Exhibition +

Quest Mezzanine Gallery 
July 10th - September 8th, 2026 

As summer settles in, Warmth invites artists to explore what heat, light, and season feel like, both physically and emotionally. Through colour, subject matter, or atmosphere, this exhibition asks: How do we translate the warmth of summer into visual form?

From sun-soaked landscapes and glowing palettes to intimate moments and memories tied to the season, Warmth is open to interpretation. Artists are encouraged to evoke the sensation of summer — its energy, stillness, nostalgia, or intensity — in ways that feel personal and resonant.

We invite our community at large to submit artwork that illustrates the concept of Warmth

Up to two pieces of art per artist. Artwork should not exceed 40 x 30 inches 
 

Intake Day: Tuesday, July 7th, 2026 (9:00 AM - 4:00 PM)

Abstract Textured Art

FALLing In Love 

Quest Members Exhibition +

Quest Mezzanine Gallery 
September 8th - November 3rd, 2026 

FALLing in Love is a celebration of transition. Of colour, emotion, and connection. As the landscape shifts and the air cools, this exhibition invites artists to draw inspiration from the richness of autumn, the feeling of falling in love, or the intersection of both.

Whether inspired by vibrant foliage, quieter moments of reflection, deep relationships, or personal transformation, this exhibition honours change as something beautiful and meaningful. Artists are encouraged to explore what they are drawn to — visually, emotionally, or symbolically — during this season of letting go and leaning in.

We invite our community at large to submit artwork that illustrates the concept of FALLing In Love

Up to two pieces of art per artist. Artwork should not exceed 40 x 30 inches
