Nexus
A BealArt student run exhibition
Jan 14 - 31, 2026
in the Main Gallery and LAB 203
Opening reception Friday January 16, 6PM - 9PM
Bealart has been a thriving arts community for over 100 years, offering eight specialized studios: ceramics, drawing, digital & interactive art, painting, printmaking, moving image, sculpture, and textiles. Each studio is equipped with post-secondary level tools and resources for hands-on, studio-based learning.
Grades 9 and 10 Enriched students engage in problem-based learning, exploring diverse media, artistic fundamentals, and stylistic approaches. In Grades 11 and 12, as well as the after-grad Foundations program, students experience intensive study across all media, emphasizing conceptual development and the integration of technical skills with design thinking. For those seeking specialization, the Bealart Specialist program offers eight credits, allowing students to focus on two studios of their choice.
Nexus emphasizes the connection between multiple things. To the Bealart Specialist, Nexus is a connection between the students at H.B Beal and people in general. Despite not knowing each member of the program, the Bealart students feel a collective belonging. The exhibition is a visual exploration of our vibrant community of artists.

Notes From The Mindfield: Andrew Lewis
Dec 04, 2025 – Jan 10, 2026
in the Main Gallery
Saturday Dec.6 : Artist Talk
Sunday Dec.14 : Live DJ (Apaull) + Live Painting
Thursday Jan.8 : Exhibit Tour + Art Crawl
About the Exhibition
Notes From The Mindfield presents a new series of paintings by Andrew Lewis that explores the psychological and social effects on our current era—an era that is simultaneously affected by the wake of the pandemic and the rise of artificial intelligence. The series reflects the artist's unfolding observations and evolving ideas around the complexity of today's shifting mental and societal landscape.
In this new series, Lewis favours a more spontaneous and intuitive approach to his artistic process which has resulted in work featuring abstract and biomorphic forms—a new direction in his practice. Drawing from a mix of historical and cultural influences, the work reflects a fragmented world where technology, memory, and human experience are deeply intertwined. The organic shapes in the pieces hint at both natural life and digital systems, showing how the boundaries between the two continue to blur.
About the Artist
Andrew Lewis is an internationally recognized Canadian artist and designer. His work is included in numerous international collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, the French National Library, the Permanent Collection of the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., the International Poster Biennial in Mexico City, and the Design Museum in London, England.

Upcoming Exhibitions
Ommatidia: Fanshawe Advanced Photo Student Showcase
Feb 6 - 23, 2026
in the Main Gallery
Opening reception Friday February 6, 6PM - 8PM
About the Exhibition
Ommatidia invites you to consider the concept of “ommatidia” in an artistic way. The exhibition showcases a diverse selection of photographic works produced by students from the Fanshawe Advanced Photo class. In biology, ommatidia are the tiny visual units that form the compound eyes of insects, enabling them to perceive the world through a wide and mosaic vision. Drawing on this idea, the exhibition highlights students’ experimentation with photography to create multiple ways of seeing. Through a wide range of subjects, colours, and techniques, each work functions as an individual visual unit. Though different from one another, each contributes to a collective vision that reflects the diversity of students’ creativity.

Visitation: Jeff Willmore
Feb 24, 2026 – Mar 07, 2026
in the Main Gallery
Meet the artist at the opening reception on Saturday February 28 from 1PM - 3PM.
About the Exhibition
This work is the second of three series containing imagery and applications that transit between painting as fine art and the publishing tool of illustration. I Have always been fascinated with the way commercial interests and reproduction processes curate and represent visuals, contrasted by the hand crafted and singular vision found in painting.
This work is the product of a trip to China in the spring of 2019.
It is almost impossible to ignore the influence of exotic experiences when traveling. I try to channel the effect the place has on me while documenting as much as I can through photography, minimizing, but not dismissing the aspect of the holiday snapshot.
Being exposed to population densities I had never before witnessed proved to be the pivotal experience of the trip. To move through a site like the Forbidden City on a hot afternoon in the company of 70,000 other individuals proved to be an overwhelming and inspiring experience.
The imagery in these paintings takes that vast human element and deposits it into invented open landscape scenarios. These landscape backdrops serve as stages for the figurative pageant to play out on and create five individual narratives.
About the Artist
Jeff Willmore was born in 1954. A design school drop-out who drifted into art school on the rebound, he graduated in 1980 with a diploma of Fine Art from Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. Today he is a senior artist whose work navigates a snarl of contemporary representational practices. His practice has established a strong regional profile that continues to find a place within an expanding community of acceptance. His work can be found in the collections of the Canada Council Art Bank, Western University and Museum London among others. He was awarded the RBC Canadian Painting Competition prize as runner-up in 1999 and has served on granting juries for the Ontario Arts Council.

Past Exhibitions
Smashing Fashion! The 60’s Illustration of Bonnie Parkinson
Dec 23, 2025 – Jan 10, 2026
in Lab 203
Opening reception Saturday, January 3, 2026
About the Exhibition
Bonnie Parkinson burst onto the advertising scene in her early twenties during the height of the 60’s cultural revolution—the era when fashions rocked the world and creativity knew no bounds. As one of the few women navigating Canada’s male-driven world of fashion illustration, she captured this spirit through her work with Eaton’s, Simpson’s, and “Mad Men” ad agencies. Her drawings reflected the rhythm of the times—dreamin’, and hanging with the cool crowd while Carnaby Street set the trends. Now, sixty years later, Bonnie has picked up her pen once again. With a fresh spark she’s creating new illustrations that echo her early days yet speak to today—a vibrant bookend to a life steeped in style, imagination, and when Fashion was Art.
Curated by Andrew Lewis.
