RISE: Give to Gain

RISE is a space for women to be seen, heard, and honoured. This annual exhibition is an invitation to all who identify as women to share their artistic voices—bold or quiet, emerging or established—across painting, illustration, photography, mixed media, textiles, sculpture, and ceramics.
Aligned with International Women’s Day 2026 and its theme Give to Gain, RISE explores what grows when we offer our time, our stories, our care, and our creativity. What do we gain when generosity becomes a practice? When women lift one another, what becomes possible—for ourselves, for our communities, for the future?
RISE is more than an exhibition—it’s a gathering of voices, a shared platform, and a declaration that women’s creativity shapes culture.
Exhibition: March 6th-27, 10:00am – 4:00pm (closed Mondays, Weekends)

Carto/Topo/Geo/Graphic: Rediscovering Lost Maps by Carl Wiens
2026-04-15 10:00 - 16:00 | Quinte Arts Council Cultural Hub, 36 Bridge St E, Belleville, K8N 2Z5, Canada
Exhibition Dates: April 2 – April 30
The Quinte Arts Council invites the public to experience Carto / Topo / Geo / Graphic: Rediscovering Lost Maps, a captivating new exhibition by artist and illustrator Carl Wiens.
This body of work represents the culmination of a year of collecting, clipping, collaging, and painting, drawing inspiration from vintage maps and atlases. Through layered compositions and intricate details, Wiens transforms historical cartographic materials into contemporary artworks, revealing new narratives and visual landscapes. Maps become both medium and metaphor—charting journeys through imagination, memory, and discovery.
Carl Wiens has enjoyed a successful career in the arts spanning more than 30 years. His work is deeply inspired by science and the natural world, with a particular fascination for robots, insects, and the universe. In addition to his studio practice, Carl teaches science and technology–based illustration at Sheridan College, where he continues to be inspired by the creativity and dedication of emerging illustrators.
His work has received international recognition from organizations including the Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, 3×3 Magazine, and the Applied Arts Awards. His illustrations have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Forbes, Barron’s, and Esquire. His book projects include The Science of Song, Wild Buildings and Bridges, and FINNA.
When he’s not creating illustrations, Carl enjoys cycling, kayaking, stargazing, chopping wood, and playing hockey. Time spent outdoors and surrounded by nature continues to fuel his creativity.
Featured Artwork:
Night Swimmer

Join us for the opening reception on April 2 from 4–6 PM and explore a unique artistic journey where geography, memory, and imagination intersect.

Sound Bath Meditation
2026-04-16 19:00 - 20:00 | Absolute Wellness, 121 Dundas Street East, Suite 202, Belleville, K8N 1C6
Have you ever noticed the effect that sounds have on your body? If we close our eyes and even imagine the sounds of a busy city street, our bodies tighten. When we imagine the sounds of a calm forest or body of water, our bodies relax. Sound is a powerful tool that we are only just beginning to understand with regard to wellness, but we can trust what our bodies tell us. Our bodies are always listening. Can you remember hearing a tone or sound that struck a chord deep within your body and felt good? This is resonance. Let’s explore your resonance together with the help of the crystal singing bowls.
Join Stef Bourke, Alignment Coach and sound explorer, for this deeply restorative sound bath meditation. Participants will settle into nests of their own creation (props and yoga mats are provided) and will be led through a 75-minute blend of meditative guidance, spoken word, crystal bowls and voice.
Basic props are provided, but feel free to bring your own comfort items from home and a journal should you find you want to write things down.
