This is a poster advertising the show of drawing/painting artist lita b. In the center of the poster are the show details, written in lilac font on a peach background: “body horror vignettes” lita b. opening June 3, 2022. 102-329 cumberland ave. Winnipeg, and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions/.” Below this text are the logos for Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts. The top half of the poster is occupied by a portion of one of lita b.’s paintings: the background is a pale peach, rose, and yellow sky, with chubby white clouds floating serenely. Contrasting with the serenity of the background is a figure, front and centre. The figure appears to be a doll-puppet, with light blue ‘flesh’ and visible sewing seams. The only facial features on the bald head are two eyes; a tear rolls down from each. From a defect in the skull, a family of spiders emerges and descends to the shoulder. The figure is wearing a plain teal corset and orange skirt. Ribbons from the top of the image are attached at the neck and wrists. In the bottom of the poster is a portion of another of their paintings: A yellow figure holds the small pink lifeless body of a baby faun, with three bloody arrows emerging from its torso.

This is a poster advertising a show of artwork by kelly haydon. In plain black text in the top left corner is the show’s title: WE ARE NOT SEPARATE. Below, smaller lettering reads: “opens May 6, 2022, 102-329 Cumberland Ave, Winnipeg, and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions”. The poster’s aesthetic consists of layered slices from kelly haydon’s various prints. In the top image, the head and shoulders of a snowy owl is visible, white and black against a rose-coloured background. Directly below is a slim slice of another print consisting of some nonsensical typewritten text, and a short zipper. The third image ‘layer’ is the largest; against a dusty grey backdrop, a delicate white tree grows upwards from the stomach of a white figure prone on the ground. kelly haydon’s name in large black text is positioned against the tree trunk. The figure appears to be lying on the next image slice, a black and white brick office building against an azure sky. The final, bottom image, is a print of a black and white brick building against a yellow background, with a herd of black bison silhouettes ambling by in the foreground. The logos of Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts are in the bottom corner.

This is a poster advertising artist Marie LeBlanc’s show. The background photograph is monochromatic and abstract, in shades of gold, tan, and hazy rust. The focal point, slightly off-centre in the bottom left, is a glowing circle, possibly a sun. Reaching towards the light, or possibly radiating from it, are jumbled darker lines. These could be read as tree branches, but are too unfocussed to be defined for certain. The overall effect could also be read as an organic tunnel, with light at the end. Mid-level in bold two-tone contrasting text is Marie LeBlanc’s name. Below in bright yellow is the show title “The End of the End of Time”, and below that in white is the direction to “view show online at AANM.ca”. Along the right side of the poster in white print is the following: "LeBlanc's photography highlights humanity’s relationship to nature in a world threatened by pollution and climate change. As a person with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, Marie explores the unnatural in the natural environment. Unable to tolerate the toxicities of indoor living, each winter she is compelled to relocate to the warmer climes of Southern USA… this work was inspired by the beautiful but threatened landscapes Marie experiences along the way.” On an olive-green banner spanning the lower portion of the poster, AANM’s mandate is written in cream text: “Arts AccessAbility Network hosts online shows each month exhibiting the work of Canadian artists with disabilities. AANM supports artistic excellence, promotes higher visibility these artists within all disciplines, and promotes policies and practices intended to make the arts more accessible to all.” Below that are the logos for AANM and Canada Council For The Arts.

This image advertises Natasha Boone’s show of oil paintings. Along the right side, against a strip of acid yellow, is the artist’s name in red capitalized font. The rest of the poster displays a close-up detail of her painting: free, messy brushstrokes combine black, grey, and white, with a hint of yellow. Across the middle in acid yellow and red is the show title: SELF-PORTRAITS. A square of light grey provides a background for the show information in plain black font, reading “OPENS APRIL 1 2022 aanm.ca/online-exhibitions AND 102-329 Cumberland Ave. WPG.” The image includes logos for Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council For The Arts.

This is an ad for artist Candace Lipischak’s show. Front and centre is a painting by her, done on the rusting metal lid of an old canning jar. The painting is a bee, brightly striped in yellow and black, with white translucent wings. It is so close that we can see the body is fuzzy and it has delicate feelers. The canning ring, shiny and golden, provides a round “frame” for the bee. At the top of the poster, in black plain text, is the title of the show “FULL CIRCLE”, as well as the artist’s signature in a scrawl across a mint green rectangle. At the bottom of the poster black text declares “OPENS MARCH 4 2022, aanm.ca/online-exhibitions”. To the side are the logos for Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council For The Arts.
