For the Love of Bugs Opening Reception
Janet Johnston
Exhibit: September 9 – November 14, 2026
Opening Reception: September 12, 2026 from 2:00-4:00pm.
Throughout history, species have evolved, thrived and declined. Today’s extinction rate, however, is higher than the natural baseline rate due to pressures from human activity. This collection of hand-drawn and painted ceramic tiles is a tribute to insects currently at risk in Ontario. The works pose a striking contrast between the beauty and importance of these creatures, and the very real threat of their disappearance.
A portion of the artist’s proceeds from sales will be donated to Wildlife Preservation Canada, to support efforts to prevent species at risk from going extinct.
