Let your eyes dance over the beauty of others’ artistic creations, and wrack your brains while you’re at it, as Wall Space Gallery proudly presents two group exhibitions this July: “Physical Presence” and “New Dimensions 2024.” The former celebrates the three-dimensional form, with ceramic and sculptural works by Dauma, Gosia, Martin Hyde, Marney McDiarmid, Patti Normand, and Jeannie Pappas. The latter is the inaugural annual exhibition in collaboration with the University of Ottawa’s BFA program, featuring works from emerging artists Élie Crighton, Emma Gauthier, Chris Glabb, Bella Laflamme and Erin Szturm.
