SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.

Grounded in evidence-based education\, this comprehensive course guides you from pregnancy and labour through the early days at home with your baby. \nLed by Blair Graham BScN\, RN\, you’ll gain practical\, up-to-date knowledge to help you feel informed and confident every step of the way. In addition\, prenatal and postpartum fitness specialist Lucy Ulmer will teach you how to prepare your body for labour through intentional\, specialized movement\, and how to safely begin your recovery and healing journey after birth. Blair and Lucy believe that combining prenatal education with guided movement is essential for feeling both physically strong and mentally prepared for one of life’s most significant transitions. \nOur first launch of this course begins in March 7 so anyone due in May or June would be our target. \nFollow us on Instagram @thebirthstandard and event information and tickets can be found here: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/o/120790261249?aff=ebdsshios

SUMMARY:The Polygon Gallery: Tania Willard: Photolithics
DESCRIPTION:The Polygon Gallery presents Tania Willard: Photolithics from March 7–May 24\, 2026. The exhibition is Willard’s first since winning the 2025 Sobey Art Award — Canada’s biggest contemporary art prize — and is her largest solo show to date. Photolithics\, a portmanteau of ancient words for “light” and “stone\,” highlights Willard’s evolving photographic practice\, in which the sun and the land play a vital role beyond the surveillance or spectacle of nature. For The Polygon\, she devises a distinctive treatment for the gallery’s windows based on her research into Salish basketry. Passing through patterns of cedar root\, the sun’s rays cast a warm protective glow\, or “safelight\,” on all the works in the gallery and the people coming to witness. Other works in the 10-year survey include “Only Available Light” (2016)\, which is being presented inside a purpose-built c7ískten̓ (kekuli or underground pit house)\, “Anthro(a)pologizing” (2018)\, “Vestige” (2022)\, and more. \nAdmission to The Polygon Gallery is by donation\, courtesy of BMO Financial Group.
