Join us August 7-23 at La Maison des artistes visuels francophones for L'Arche Winnipeg's first art exhibit “Experiencing Eden: Disability and the Natural World.” Through this inclusive exhibit, our core members invite you into their perspectives as people with disabilities – sharing their unique experiences of nature through touch, sight, and sound.
"I want people to feel like it's a birthday party, like it’s a celebration!" said Gina, one of our core members. And that’s exactly what this exhibit hopes to do: to welcome you into a celebration of life, community, and shared humanity.
In the Studio Gallery, enjoy original works by L’Arche artists featuring colors, textures, and elements of the natural world—expressed through painting, multimedia, and ceramics. These pieces reflect our community’s deep connection to nature and the sensory experiences that bring us joy.
In the Sensory Garden Room, step into a hands-on space inspired by the experience of walking through a park. Explore touchable textures, calming sounds, and sights that evoke peace and wonder. Visitors are invited to add to a growing community art piece - make a dragonfly, and add your perspective to the garden of our community.
The exhibit will be open August 7-23 with free admission.
