Last Look 👀 — Artcite’s farewell group exhibition and auction, marking our final days downtown before we move to Ford City. See some outstanding artwork, celebrate the legacy of the space, and support Artcite’s future!

📅 Nov 20–29, 2024
📍 109 University Ave W
🕑 Open daily from 2–8pm
🍾 Reception: Nov 29, 7–11pm

Featuring works by:
Jude Abu Zaineh, Alana Bartol, Stephen Gibb, Susan Gold, Matthew Hawtin, Catherine Heard, Mark Laliberte, Jessica Mensch, Linda Renaud Fisher, Tina Rouhandeh, Julie Sando, Alejandro Tamayo, and Jennifer Willet.

Auction Information:
Bidding opens online at 2pm on November 20 and is open to everyone. We encourage our local community to view the artworks in person at the gallery before bidding. Staff will be on hand to assist with the online bidding process.

Closing Reception on Friday, November 29, from 7–11pm:
Join us for an evening of art, food, and connection as we toast to Artcite’s downtown era and look ahead to our future. This is the final opportunity to experience the Last Look exhibition in person, place last bids, and celebrate the legacy of Artcite’s longstanding role in our community. Come together with artists, supporters, and friends as we mark the close of this chapter and the exciting beginnings to come.

Why This Event Matters:
Last Look is more than a farewell; it’s a commitment to Artcite’s ongoing role as Windsor-Essex’s only non-profit, artist-run centre. Proceeds from the auction will support essential renovations and expanded operations in our new space, strengthening our dedication to local artists and allowing Artcite to continue fulfilling its mandate: advancing the professional presentation, promotion, and animation of contemporary art forms, and expanding their visibility in our region.

This exhibition also coincides with our Annual General Meeting on November 20, as well as a second fundraiser on November 22, featuring a showcase of local fashion and electronic music. We’ll be sharing more about each artist, their work, and the auction process in the coming days. Join us to say goodbye to Artcite’s downtown space and help us kick off this exciting new chapter!
