This is a poster advertising the visual art show opening of sculptor Sacha Kopelow. Large ‘neon’ pink letters radiating a pink glow declare the show’s name: ‘THESE ARE MY DISASTERS.’ The text is overtop an image of a crescent moon. A cast glass couple sits in the curve of the moon. The woman is fat, wearing a figure-hugging dress, and she has a prosthetic leg. She holds her hand up to her mouth in anguish, her head thrown back to look up at the heavens. The man is thin. His sleeves are rolled up to the elbow. He holds one hand behind the woman’s back, the other above his lap. The entire scene is awash in pink rays, but the two figures remain a shadowy cool white-blue. At the bottom of the poster is the information: ‘OPENING Feb 3, 6-9PM, 102-329 Cumberland Ave and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions.’ Along the poster’s edge are the small logos of Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts.

This is a poster advertising the art show of Troy Lindstrom. His name is emblazoned at the top, in a white comic-book font with slight red glow, over a green background. Below is a self-portrait drawing in an ornate black frame. The artist is a middle-aged man sporting a beard and glasses. He has a severe expression. The drawing is titled with the phrase “I am a person with a disability”. In the bottom corner, on a green background, we find the show title: “#NotA,” and the information: opening Oct. 7, 6-9pm, 102-329 Cumberland Ave. Wpg and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions, as well as the logos for Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba and Canada Council for the Arts.

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.

Show information is presented in shades of grey-blue text, reading: “A solo art show by Lani Zastre, inspired by the photography of Arianne Clement.

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.
