This is a poster for a visual art show by Katrina Craig. The artist’s name and the show’s title (SICK PARTY) are written in thin black hand lettering atop a hand-drawn image in tones of peach, orange, and beige. In the image, two hands, each with fingers bowed and knotted like rubbery noodles, are raised up on long arms that are likewise woven and undulating. On a strip of dark brown at the bottom of the poster, the details of the event are written in beige: Opening March 1st, 2024, 6-9pm, Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba, 102-329 Cumberland Ave & aanm.ca/online-exhibitions, along with the logos for the Province of Manitoba and AANM.

This is a poster advertising Jude Palace’s digital drawing show at AANM Gallery102-329 Cumberland Avenue, opening October 6 from 6-9pm, and available online at aanm.ca/online-exhibitions. These details are displayed in lines of plain, bright high-contrast text, sandwiched between slices sampled from Palace’s work, along with the logos of the funder, Canada Council for the Arts, and AANM, as well as the title of the show, “I Do Not Make Art for Anyone; I Make Art for You.” Palace’s work is busy, exuberant, tragic, and appears as a chaotic jumble of bright colours, creating an intriguing narrative. Visible in the top image detail is a young, blonde boy with large blue eyes, calmly meeting our gaze, as the hands of someone in a white sweater studded with red hearts grasps his chin and hair as if preparing to wrench his head violently. The background is bright red with abstract lines snaking among orange and yellow star/explosions. In the image below that, we see a blue tiger sitting regally on a pink shabby sofa. A snake patterned with red, orange, and black is seen entering through a window and baring its fangs towards the tiger, who is sporting an award ribbon on his furry chest. The bottom image depicts a young Black boy in a yellow cap and green jacket, turning to meet our eye over his shoulder. On his collar in orange font is the word ‘lonely,’ in which the ‘o’ is denoted by a daisy. The boy is touching a wall calendar set to November, with a hand displaying bloody knuckles and multiple band-aids.

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 entire right side of the poster is filled with portions of his drawings, on which we glimpse words in various comic-book fonts: “Not A Monster, Not Weak, Not Soulless, Not a Joke,” etc.
