Hearth: Keep the Home Fires Burning, brings together outstanding works from the permanent collection of the Art Gallery of Mississauga. Featuring Canadian landscapes and works by settler and immigrant artists that reflect their emotions, struggles, traditions, and transformations while establishing their homes.
This exhibition cherishes the welcoming and diverse community that is now Canada, and also reminds us to treat the land with 15000 years of human activity, our home, with respect, appreciation and care. |

Selections from the permanent art collection We see many people en route, all ages coming and going. Looking into the eyes of these portraits of missing children as they move through time, one can only wonder; who are they? These Children represent the fragility of youth as well as the strangers we encounter along the path of life. |
