Our Current Show: COLOUR GONE WILD

“Color helps to express light—not the physical phenomenon, but the only light that
really exists, that in the artist’s brain.” Henri Matisse.

Colour Gone Wild exhibition is an explosion of colours and light as expressed by 27 selected artists.

This is Headwaters Arts third themed, member art show of 2026 and it showcases over 40 art works in a variety of mediums and subjects including: acrylic, watercolour and oil paintings; photography; mixed media; stained glass; paper collage and textiles.

“Water provides an amazing canvas to explore the reflection of colour and light. The same scene can change dramatically depending on the timing or type of light on a given day. This painting
explores the joy and beauty of colour in a simple scene. “ says Wayne Hudson of Caledon.

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather, and on which the Region of Peel operates, is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples inhabited and cared for this land. In particular we acknowledge the territory of the Ani-shinabek, Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee and Ojibway/Chippewa peoples; the land that is home to the Metis; and most recently, the territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation who are direct descendants of the Mississaugas of the Credit.

We are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land, and by doing so, give our respect to its first inhabitants.
