February 17 - March 13
Cambridge Art Galleries and Cambridge Public Library are delighted to announce the Belonging Artist in Residence and Community Exhibitions, a project made possible through the generous support of the Keith and Winifred Shantz Fund for the Arts held at the Waterloo Region Community Foundation.
Throughout 2026, eight regional artists present solo exhibitions engaging with the concept of belonging at Cambridge Public Library, Old Post Office. Ranging from experimental photography and abstract painting to figurative ceramics, the artists' chosen mediums are as varied as their interpretations of the theme.
