Throughout the ‘90s, students and arts workers in Katarokwi-Kingston successfully advocated for an exhibition space at Queen’s dedicated to showing student and emerging artists works. This space became Union Gallery. As UG’s main fundraising event, the 2023 iteration of Cezanne’s Closet is an opportunity to celebrate this history and the artists who have shaped it.

The works on display are hung in conversation with each other, rather than separated by medium, theme or subject matter – demonstrating the power of unity, collectivity, and variety of the local art scene. Given our theme, this year’s Cezanne’s Closet has extended its program to include artworks created by current BFA students shown on the feature wall at the entrance of the gallery. All proceeds from this fundraiser directly impact the experiential learning of students to develop skills in arts administration, curation, and public programming at Union Gallery.

QWave producers will be curating a 15-minute soundscape piece that will be shared during the intermission.
