The title of the show, at the top of the poster in bold font reads: “50 PLUS.” Front and centre is a graphite drawing of an elderly heterosexual couple, in tones of grey.

This is a poster advertising the show of Natalie Sluis, dancer and choreographer. Two photos in cool dim tones make a backdrop for the show's title "I/Am/I," which is front and centre in plain bold white lettering. The two pictures capture Natalie in motion, her hair wild and flowing across her face with the force of her dance movements. She is pale and slim, wearing a plain drab t-shirt and pants. She is barefoot on a grey stone floor. Below the title in a chill blue font it reads "Choreography and dance by Natalie Sluis. Filmed on location at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights by Joey Forte, Music by Moodinies": Below, in tan text: “Opening August 5, 2022, 6-9pm, 102-329 Cumberland Ave, Winnipeg and http://aanm.ca/online-exhibitions.” Along the side of the poster are the logos for Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council For The Arts.

This is a poster advertising the show of visual artist Kaitlyn Beugh. An image of one of her prints is front and centre on a background of crisp white. The print is an organic shape in many delicate shades of grey and black on white paper. It is ephemeral, ambiguous, but reminiscent of the shape a wave creates lapping on a shore. The artist’s name is emblazoned at the top of the poster in magenta outlined block font, next to the small logos of Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts. At the foot in black font is the show title: “Conversations with the Ocean,” followed by: “Opening July 8, 2022, 6-9pm, 102-329 Cumberland Ave, Winnipeg and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions.”

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.
