SUMMARY:Carto/Topo/Geo/Graphic: Rediscovering Lost Maps by Carl Wiens
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: April 2 – April 30 \nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nCarl 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. \nHis 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. \nWhen 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. \nFeatured Artwork:\nNight Swimmer\n12 × 12″ collage on panel \nJoin us for the opening reception on April 2 from 4–6 PM and explore a unique artistic journey where geography\, memory\, and imagination intersect.

SUMMARY:RISE: Give to Gain
DESCRIPTION: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. \nAligned 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? \nRISE is more than an exhibition—it’s a gathering of voices\, a shared platform\, and a declaration that women’s creativity shapes culture. \nExhibition: March 6th-27\, 10:00am – 4:00pm (closed Mondays\, Weekends) \nFeatured Artwork: Angela Wiggins\, “I Am Here”

SUMMARY:Carto/Topo/Geo/Graphic: Rediscovering Lost Maps by Carl Wiens
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: April 2 – April 30 \nThe 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. \nThis 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. \nCarl 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. \nHis 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. \nWhen 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. \nFeatured Artwork:\nNight Swimmer\n12 × 12″ collage on panel \nJoin us for the opening reception on April 2 from 4–6 PM and explore a unique artistic journey where geography\, memory\, and imagination intersect.
