Discover the beauty of the discarded at Riverdale Hub’s latest exhibition, “Recycle – Reuse – Renew” by mixed media artist Gail Blima. Running from June 4th to July 3rd, this collection invites viewers to explore the intersection of nostalgia and sustainability.
What to Expect
Blima, a self-proclaimed recycler with deep roots in the movement, uses wood panels, acrylic paint, and found materials to create multi-layered works that feel both personal and universal. By incorporating vintage magazines like *Life* and *Mad*, and pairing them with iconic figures such as Marilyn Monroe and Fred Astaire, Blima’s work is a vibrant commentary on memory and the passage of time. The opening reception on June 13th (2:00 PM – 4:00 PM) features an artist talk at 3:00 PM, offering a deeper look into her creative process.

Located at 1326 Gerrard St E, the Riverdale Hub is a cornerstone of the neighbourhood.
