Artist In Residence Solo Art Exhibitions

We proudly present our upcoming Solo Art Exhibitions featuring the works of Tomo Ingalls, Daniel Labutes, and Corwyn Lund. Tomo Ingalls, currently a long-term artist in residence at Medalta, explores daily activity, the body, and performance, proposing new ways to express intangible emotions. Daniel Labutes, the Studio Technician for the Medalta International Artist in Residence program, creates unconventional ceramics that blend pottery designed for everyday use with sculpture that disrupts traditional expectations of functionality. Corwyn Lund, a Toronto-based artist, establishes relationships between ceramics, architecture, and photography to reflect on current global conflicts and environmental catastrophes.

Discover the talent of three exceptional artists at our Solo Artist In Residence Art Reception on May 26th at 7:00 PM, held at The Yuill Family Gallery at Medalta.
