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.

This is an advertisement for an art show by Lani Zastre. 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. The two are depicted in bed, with blankets drawn up to their nude chests, clasping each other and laughing intimately, nose-to-nose. The man is bald, save some lower fringe; the woman’s hair is white. 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. Opening September 9, 2022, 6-9pm. 102-329 Cumberland Ave, Winnipeg, and aanm.ca/online-exhibitions.” Along the side of the image are logos for Canada Council for the Arts and Arts AccessAbility Network Manitoba.

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.
