Experience Northern Art Up Close: Bold Paintings and Bone Art on Display

If you’re looking for something unique to see in Northwestern Ontario this month, a new exhibition at the Dyment Recreation Hall is well worth the stop. Featuring the work of Borups Corners artist Leanne Nicholson, this show brings together powerful visual storytelling and natural materials in a way that feels distinctly northern and deeply connected to place.

Set in the upper level of the Dyment Recreation Hall, the exhibition invites visitors into a space where art and landscape meet. Nicholson’s work blends bold, high-contrast paintings with carefully crafted bone art, creating a striking mix of colour, texture, and form. Her sweeping lines and organic shapes echo the movement of the land, while the use of natural elements grounds each piece in the reality of the surrounding forest and wildlife.

This is not a typical gallery experience—it’s local, accessible, and rooted in the community. Whether you’re passing through the area or live nearby, it’s a chance to slow down, take in something original, and connect with the creative work happening right here in the region.

Drop in during open hours, explore the exhibition at your own pace, and discover a side of Northwestern Ontario you won’t find anywhere else.

Location: Dyment Recreation Hall
Hours: Mondays and Wednesdays, 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.
