SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Star Witnesses
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Star Witnesses\, a group exhibition by Monika Szewczyk that assembles works by a constellation of renowned artists whose insightful observations of the cosmos bring new understandings of exploratory and migratory movements on Planet Earth. The title gestures toward each artist’s precise vision\, honed at the technical limits of photography\, and hints at how their work can turn viewers into powerful witnesses in turn. The found and newly produced images take inspiration from the skies while giving substance to vital\, human histories: one woman’s survival in an internment camp; one man’s narrow escape from a white mob; underexposed connections between a war in the Middle East and peace in a mid-sized German town; an artist’s moment of grace on top a moonlit mountain\, far from home. Each work offers the image of the cosmos as material evidence for a distinctive perspective\, worldview\, or imaginary — together\, they attest to the fact that there is no universal way of gazing at the universe. The exhibition features Daniel Boyd\, Vija Celmins\, David Horvitz\, Bouchra Khalili\, Judy Radul\, Thomas Ruff\, Urban Subjects (Sabine Bitter\, Jeff Derksen\, and Helmut Weber)\, Carrie Mae Weems\, and Paul Wong. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:High Tide | Cancer Season: Creative Workshop + Sound Bath
DESCRIPTION:A creative workshop and sound bath hosted by Low Tide / High Tide — a pop-up series by artist Mega McGrath\, designed to help you reconnect with your creative vision\, clear blocks\, and sync with the natural cycles that shape the world around us. Featuring certified sound practitioner and channeler\, May Globus. \nAn evening of meditation\, sound healing\, and creative workshopping \nWe use astrology as a mythological framework (drawing on archetypes for theme and timing) while grounding the experience in psychology\, meditation\, and somatic nervous system work. The goal is to activate the parasympathetic state where clarity can emerge and change becomes possible. \nWe’ll work with the energy of the Full Moon in Capricorn (taking place just 3 days after High Tide!) to sync with the earth’s natural rhythm and help you release what’s no longer working; identify old habits\, creative blocks\, and outdated structures. \nYou’ll also receive a printout of Mega’s Three Month Worry Cleanse—a simple 90-day tool to help shift your relationship with time\, discipline\, and self-worth. We close the evening with a 20-minute sound bath to help the work settle into the body. Using crystal bowls and healing frequencies\, the sound helps integrate your insights and restore balance. \nWho is this for? Creatives\, entrepreneurs\, artists\, aspiring artists\, and those seeking a deeper connection with themselves\, their work\, and the world around them.

SUMMARY:Happiness Is...
DESCRIPTION:HAPPINESS IS…\nOPENING EVENT | JUNE 12TH | 5-8PM \nWhat is happiness? Is it a fleeting feeling or a lifelong pursuit? Is it found in the rhythm of the everyday\, the colors of memory\, or the quiet moments of reflection? Through the distinct yet complementary visions of Kimberly Blackstock\, Todd Clark\, and Carole Arnston\, the exhibition becomes a conversation between abstraction\, nature\, and narrative. \nTogether\, these three artists illuminate a spectrum of emotional and sensory experiences\, offering unique yet interconnected interpretations of happiness. “Happiness Is…” becomes an open-ended statement—completed differently by each artist\, and again by each viewer. In a time when the pursuit of happiness feels both urgent and elusive\, this exhibition offers a moment to pause\, reflect\, and feel.
