He received the highest honour award in a juried international watercolor exhibition hosted by CSPWC. His artworks have been collected by the Government of Ontario Art Collection.
\"My style ranges from representational to semi-abstract and abstract. My artistic expression evolves continually, reflecting my interests and inner feelings. I aim to merge the brushwork of calligraphy, the colours of oil painting, and the poetic essence of Eastern art in my work. My compositions are created through the organization and design of points, lines, and planes. I have a passion to teach children and adults. Therefore I set up a studio dedicated to nurturing artistic potential and guiding my students on a journey filled with creativity and expression in their art.\"

[8,"Branch Art Exhibit: Works by Glen Downie","2025-07-02","2025-07-30","None","None","Northern District","None","Throughout July, the works of artist Glen Downie are on display at Northern District branch.
Glen Downie, a resident of Toronto for over 30 years, has recently moved to the countryside. He is the author of several books, and a previous winner of the Toronto Book Award. He is also an emerging visual artist, developing his past experience in book arts, photography and collage, and exploring acrylics, lino cut and other media.
\"Book arts and poetry - and, specially, found and excision poetry - have given me a deep interest in the visual potential of limited or isolated words, words taken out of their original context. At the same time, the lifelong struggle to articulate meaning has increasingly led me to appreciate and value wordless art, art that leaves its meaning generously open to interpretation. My visual art seems to move variously through works in which unexpected words provide some ambiguous clues to possible meaning, as well as others in which there are no word-signposts at all, and meaning emerges for each viewer from individual interpretations of colour, texture and shapes.\"

\"Marnie's main inspiration comes from Van Gogh, Picasso and Graffiti culture. She believes the purpose of art is to offer an escape. Her art is a meditation, a story of symbols and lines. It's a 'Where's Waldo'-like landscape with rhythmic blasts of colour and line, busy, alive.\"

It roosts in Tree of Life and when the Simurgh took flight, the leaves of the tree of life shook, making all the seeds fall out and coat around the world, curing all the illnesses of human/animal-kind. With the political climate of the present-where there is instability, unrest, and destruction-it is necessary to call on those who follow human rights, who are peace lovers, and who spread goodwill.\"

Vidhushini Nanjappan is an abstract artist based in Toronto, Canada. Her work spans mixed media, where she creates three-dimensional illusions and sculptural forms from two-dimensional surfaces, blending both traditional and modern techniques. Her early pieces were characterized by vivid colours and bold compositions, reflecting a 'young and wild' spirit. Over time, her artistic style evolved, incorporating a more primitive palette and deeper introspective themes. Vidhushini's experimentation with materials, from metal wires to plaster, allows her to continuously push the boundaries of her art.
\"My work explores the deeper meaning of life through experimentation with materials, blending two- and three-dimensional forms. I aim to create pieces that invite introspection, often blurring the lines between illusion and reality. By pushing the boundaries of form, I express a continually evolving understanding of existence, with each piece reflecting a new chapter in my journey and offering a fresh perspective on life's complexities.\"

She balances her career, motherhood, and artistic pursuits, maintaining creativity while contributing to her community and enjoying the beauty in life's simple pleasures.
\"As an artist, I find beauty in the mundane and draw inspiration from ordinary moments of life. My work reflects the subtle charm of everyday scenes from my life in Toronto, influenced by my Indo-Canadian roots. Using simple tools, pens & pencil colours, my pieces are intimate, little sketches designed to draw you in and make you smile. I aim to show that art and beauty exist in even the most overlooked details of life, sometimes hidden in plain sight #littlesketcheseverywhere.\"

Synopsis: Lila is a Black former police officer whose career ended after she shot an unarmed Black youth.

What unfolds is a raucous struggle on the subjects of responsibility and representation, framed by Kat Sandler's trademark wit.

[77,"Percussion Basics with LMMS","2025-07-28",null,"2:00 PM","3:30 PM","North York Central Library","Elearning Lab","Linux MultiMedia Studio is a digital audio workstation, or DAW. It is a sound generation system, synthesizer, beat/bassline editor and MIDI control system that can power a small home music studio. Sounds, tones and rhythms can be generated, played, and artfully arranged to create entire tracks. Tracks can then be layered to create songs, which can later be saved to an output format.
This percussion workshop is divided into two separate sections:
* Odd-time beatmaking
* Sampling basics using Linux MultiMedia Studio + Audacity
An odd, irregular or unequal subdivision of a beat can be difficult to play but do have patterns that are discernable for the performer. The most common irregular metres mix simple time (whose basic note division is in groups of two), and compound time (threes) together within a single measure. Odd-time polyrhythms commonly appear in Latin, West African and other musical genres.
A sample is the use of a portion of an existing song, recontextualized for a substantially new recording such as a drumbeat. The point is to make a new original track using a sample from a previous song. Sampling has its historical roots in tape-looping, turntablism (DJing) and drum machines, and can be heard in avant-garde, Hip Hop and other genres.
Registration is required for this class and begins July 14, 2025 at 12:30pm.
Note: Your spot will not be guaranteed after 5 minutes of the start of the program. Class is held in the 2nd floor E-Learning Lab.

This month's film is Todd Haynes' Safe (1995).
Synopsis (Criterion Collection): Julianne Moore gives a breakthrough performance as Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife in the late 1980s who comes down with a debilitating illness. After the doctors she sees can give her no clear diagnosis, she comes to believe that she has frighteningly extreme environmental allergies. A profoundly unsettling work from the great American director Todd Haynes, Safe functions on multiple levels: as a prescient commentary on self-help culture, as a metaphor for the AIDS crisis, as a drama about class and social estrangement, and as a horror film about what you cannot see. This revelatory drama was named the best film of the 1990s in a Village Voice poll of more than fifty critics.

Her book The Paper Trail to the 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act is the first to explore the broad range of 'human experiences' of exclusion. The pages reveal haunting tales of tragedy, loss, and despair as well as powerful examples of courage, perseverance, and resilience. They chronicle the lives of ordinary people caught in extraordinary times. Crowdsourced from the fragments of memories of hundreds of Chinese Canadian families across Canada, as well as extensive research, many stories and images are being shared publicly for the very first time.
Q and A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.

Susan Aaron, team leader on the volunteer team, presents the research on the site to provide better understanding of ravines.

He inhabits a landscape crawling with Nazis, partisans and haunted by ghosts. Based on the best-selling memoir by Canadian Holocaust survivor Maxwell Smart and inspired by the award-winning documentary Cheating Hitler: Surviving The Holocaust.

Join us for an enlightening fireside chat with Farbsy (Max Farber), a Toronto-based content creator behind the viral short-form sketches that turn customer service nightmares into comedy gold. With millions of views and a ever-growing online following, Farbsy shares some of the behind-the-scenes of his hilarious videos roasting entitled customers and awkward Zoom calls (among other riveting topics).
In this engaging conversation, we'll also explore Farbsy's entrepreneurial journey: how he built a thriving creative brand from the ground up, carved out his niche, and turned everyday frustrations into a business with real impact. From content creation, to audience growth, to the hustle behind the humour, this session hopes to offer insightful lessons for aspiring creators, solopreneurs, and anyone curious about the business behind the skits.
This program is part of the Newcomer Entrepreneurship Initiative and our continued efforts to champion inclusive entrepreneurship in Toronto, by finding more ways to uplift and support the journeys of diverse entrepreneurial communities such as newcomer entrepreneurs, Black entrepreneurs, and women entrepreneurs. We strive to accomplish this through storytelling, shared experiences, and open conversations that reflect the diversity of Toronto's small business community.

August's book is Davos Man: How the Billionaires Devoured the World.
In Davos Man, global economics correspondent Peter S. Goodman argues that the \"relentless plunder\" perpetrated by the global billionaire class is \"the decisive force behind the rise of right-wing populist movements around the world, leading to widening economic inequality, intense public anger, and dire threats to democracy. The author closely examines five individuals: private equity magnate Stephen Schwarzman; JPMorgan Chase executive Jamie Dimon; asset manager Larry Fink; Amazon's Jeff Bezos; and Salesforce founder and CEO Marc Benioff
At the same time that these men broadcast their concern for social justice, they enrich themselves by manipulating economies, lobbying politicians, eviscerating regulations, weakening government oversight, and extracting huge tax benefits.\" -Kirkus Reviews

Q&A and book signing to follow. Books available for purchase.
Heads up! Your ticket includes access to both the onstage conversation and the book signing line. To ensure that as many people as possible get a chance to meet the authors, please make note of these important signing guidelines:

At New York's Central Park Zoo, a lion, a zebra, a giraffe, and a hippo are best friends and stars of the show. But when one of the animals goes missing from their cage, the other three break free to look for him, only to find themselves reunited ... on a ship en route to Africa. When their vessel is hijacked, however, the friends, who have all been raised in captivity, learn first-hand what life can be like in the wild.

Description:
In the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people stood on a muddy logging road on Lyell Island-and refused to move. What followed was a landmark act of peaceful resistance that helped spark a nationwide reckoning around land, sovereignty and environmental justice. Drawing from over a hundred hours of electrifying archival footage, The Stand immerses us in the tension, courage and quiet humanity of that moment. Directed by Christopher Auchter (Now Is the Time), the film honours the Elders, activists and supernatural spirits who helped shape a new future for the Haida Nation-and for all of Canada.

September's book is China Unbound: A New World Disorder
As the world's second-largest economy, China is extending its influence across the globe with the complicity of western nations willing to compromise on democratic values in exchange for financial bailouts and economic growth. Toronto Star journalist Joanna Chiu spent seven years as foreign correspondent in China and Hong Kong tracking China's propulsive rise, from the political aspects of the multi-billion-dollar \"New Silk Road\" global investment project to a growing sway on foreign countries and multilateral institutions through \"United Front\" efforts. In this nuanced work critical of simplistic scapegoating, Chiu offers readers background on the protests in Hong Kong, underground churches in Beijing, and exile Uyghur communities in Turkey, and exposes Beijing's high-tech surveillance and aggressive measures that result in human rights violations against those who challenge its power-including the intimidation and harassment of the Chinese diaspora abroad in countries like Canada. The new world disorder documented in China Unbound lays out the disturbing implications for global stability, prosperity, and civil rights everywhere.

Smith","None","Join the Osborne Collection of Early Children's Books for our 18th Annual Sybille Pantazzi Memorial Lecture: Drawing from my pocket - making connections and making books by Lauren Soloy.
Acclaimed picture books author and illustrator, Lauren Soloy would like to welcome you to \"The Pocket,\" her fictional world. \"Pocket\" is such a versatile and delightful word. It can refer to a secret pouch, any small piece of a larger thing, or a precious lull in a busy life. And a pocket can hold so many things - a rock or a feather, a moment or an idea. It can even hold your hand.
Drawing from her own experiences, as well as inspiration from the greater world, Lauren will speak about looking for beauty and creating with joy as she writes and illustrates her unique picture books.
Lauren Soloy lives in rural Nova Scotia, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People. She shares her home with her Librarian husband, two curious children, an ever-expanding collection of books, two hives of bees, and one cat.
Photo credit: Lauren Soloy.
This free event will be held on the lower level of the Lillian H. Smith Branch in the Auditorium.

Des premiers croquis au tableau définitif nous verrons ainsi comment Jacques-Louis David, passionné par lAntiquité, mis en forme les idéaux de la Révolution Française. Chez Eugène Delacroix et ses amis, le dessin se fait plus libre et la pratique de laquarelle, venue dAngleterre, permet une expression plus directe des sentiments et des passions.
La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de l'art et elle fait partie d'un premier cycle intitulé Lart du dessin en Europe de la fin du XVIIIe au XXe siècle.

If you'd been a music lover in Edinburgh in the early 1700s, you'd have heard traditional Scottish melodies, foreign compositions, and music that blended both these styles in fascinating ways. In music by Italian, Scottish and Irish composers, performed on harp, wooden flute and recorders, we explore the colourful and expressive blending of these musical styles. From the heartfelt traditional tunes of Scotland and Ireland, to sparkling dance tunes and sonatas by Vivaldi, McGibbon and Baillie, this program exudes musical fun and good cheer.
In addition, verbal 'program notes' and a Q & A session will enable listeners to learn more about our music and instruments, and make for a well-connected experience.
This program is part of the Ontario Culture Days.
Free tickets will be handed at 6PM in Room 101 on the day of the event. No advance registration required. All ages welcome.

This month we will be discussing Five Little Indians by Michelle Good.
Taken from their families when they are very small and sent to a remote, church-run residential school, Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie are barely out of childhood when they are finally released after years of detention. Alone and without any skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn't want them. With compassion and insight, Five Little Indians chronicles the desperate quest of these residential school survivors to come to terms with their past and, ultimately, find a way forward.
Pick up a physical copy at the branch before the meeting, or find copies through our website in various formats. Registration is required and begins Sept. 2, 2025.

Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin's own grandmother, THELMA puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother (June Squibb) as an unlikely action hero. With infectious humor, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business -- despite what her daughter Gail (Parker Posey), son-in-law Alan (Clark Gregg), or grandson Danny might believe.

October's book is Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World by Pulitzer Prize winning historian and journalist Anne Applebaum.
In this timely guide to the rise of 21st century authoritarianism, Applebaum argues that present-day autocracies are underpinned not by one dictator, but by sophisticated networks composed of kleptocratic financial structures, surveillance technologies, and professional propagandists, all of which operate across multiple regimes, from China to Russia to Iran. Corrupt companies in one country do business with corrupt companies in another. The police in one country can arm and train the police in another, and propagandists share resources and themes, pounding home the same messages about the weakness of democracy and the evil of America.
International condemnation and economic sanctions cannot move the autocrats. Even popular opposition movements, from Venezuela to Hong Kong to Moscow, don't stand a chance. The members of Autocracy, Inc, aren't linked by a unifying ideology, like communism, but rather a common desire for power, wealth, and impunity. In this urgent treatise, which evokes George Kennan's essay calling for \"containment\" of the Soviet Union, Anne Applebaum calls for the democracies to fundamentally reorient their policies to fight a new kind of threat.

De lopéra au café-concert, Degas saisit le monde du spectacle en des pastels vibrants tandis que Renoir exprime par la couleur la plénitude des formes. Si les grands tableaux sont encore peints en atelier, ils sont le fruit dune multitude détudes préparatoires, prises sur le vif, en un cheminement didées passionnant à reconstituer.
La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de lart et elle fait partie fait partie d'un premier cycle intitulé Lart du dessin en Europe de la fin du XVIIIe au XXe siècle.

Building the Future

November's book is The Prince: The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau
\"In this first comprehensive history of the Justin Trudeau government, veteran journalist Stephen Maher takes readers behind the scenes of a tumultuous decade of Canadian politics. Through hundreds of interviews with political insiders, he describes how Trudeau-a Canadian prince-had the famous name, the political instincts, the work ethic, and the confidence to overcome errors in judgment and build a global brand, winning in the boxing ring and on the debate stage. And then things changed as key people left the Trudeau team and the government lost direction... errors in judgment and personality conflicts wasted political capital. Trudeau has struggled to manage his own office, with devastating consequences, and alienated people outside his coalition, to the point where he can't hold a public event without protesters screaming curses at him.\" By the end of his time as Prime Minister, according to Maher, many voters \"had come to see Trudeau as a pious scold, an anti-racist who had often worn blackface, a climate change warrior who was forever flying around in a private plane, a feminist who gaslit, demoted and exiled Jody Wilson-Raybould when she rightly objected to the PMO interfering in the administration of justice\" by sidelining \"the prosecution of corrupt engineering firm SNC-Lavalin.\"
In addition, we will be discussing Chaper Six (\"Justice\") of \"Indian\" in the Cabinet: Speaking Truth to Power by Jody Wilson-Raybould, which gives her perspective on the Trudeau government and the SNC-Lavalin scandal.

Gauguin à Pont-Aven, suivi par Bonnard et ses amis à Paris, transposent alors danodines scènes de la vie quotidienne en des compositions au radical parti pris esthétique. Léloquence des couleurs et des graphismes leur importent désormais plus que la seule description de la réalité vue.
La conférence est proposée par Gilles Genty, historien de l'art et elle fait partie d'un premier cycle intitulé Lart du dessin en Europe de la fin du XVIIIe au XXe siècle.
En collaboration avec Alliance Française de Toronto.
