Tales in Line and Colour:
Woodcut Prints by Naoko Matsubara

​May 17 - September 13, 2025
​

This exhibition features woodcut prints and collages by artist Naoko Matsubara. The works in this exhibition are drawn from the artist’s extensive exploration of the world of nature and Japanese folklore. These two broad themes showcase the integration of movement and colour, of structure and form, in Matsubara’s work.

Upcoming Events & Programming

ON THE 'BRINK Art Installation Festival 

Saturday, August 30 &
​Sunday, August 31 | 11am-4pm

On the ‘Brink celebrates the creativity and innovation of artists working in or about Niagara. The festival provides an opportunity for members of the community to experience and learn about installation art, meet local artists and enjoy the stunning natural landscape at RiverBrink. 

For the festival this year, we engage with the idea of art-making as a mode of memory preservation, that reflect on the role of monuments in public space, that address the question of who gets heeded/represented by monuments, and/or that explore how site, materials, and form encode memory.
