Here, we hope to create a space centred in gathering. Through the generosity of our artistic community, we have gathered together an eccentric, thought-provoking, and wildly whimsical collection of works. Cézanne’s Closet 2022 features over 70 artwork donations by students, recent graduates and professional artists, spanning a variety of mediums including painting, sculpture, printmaking and combinations in between. Responding to the vibrancy, energy and materiality of artworks, and grounded in our art historical roots, our curatorial framework is centred in a desire to be together in conversation and company with the artists while we are at a distance. In their installation as pairings, groupings and assemblages, each artwork’s unique qualities and synergies can speak to one another. We invite you to make yourself at home: listen to the stories and whispers each piece of art is willing to share.

Cézanne’s Closet has been a beloved fundraiser for Union Gallery since 1995. All funds raised directly support Union Gallery’s programming offered year-round. As a not-for-profit teaching gallery, support from the community truly makes a difference. Cézanne’s Closet is the perfect event to celebrate the Katarokwi-Kingston arts community and purchase a one-of-a-kind treasure for your friends, family, loved ones or even yourself!

Her graduate research focuses on 17th century Dutch religious paintings and prints. Having worked on various curatorial projects both virtually and based in the Kingston region, Katie is driven by the desire to push the boundaries of traditional gallery spaces.

Maggie Whitmore

Maggie Whitmore is an MA candidate in the Department of Art History and Art Conservation at Queen’s University and holds a BAH in Art History. Maggie currently sits as secretary on the Union Gallery’s Board of Directors. Her research interests are expansive, but she is most interested in curatorial theory, the colonial history of display, and the cross-cultural exchange of material culture in Colonial Latin America. As an artist balancing the fast-paced arts community and the academic world, Maggie found a home within the newly founded collective FORWorld Studios. From her fashion choices to painting to even writing, she believes that all aspects of life should incorporate creativity.
