The Gardiner Museum presents a new, monumental installation: a floor-to-ceiling display of over 500 blue-and-white ceramics rhythmically arranged by shape, hue, and decoration. Assembled over decades and generously donated by Toronto collector Rosalie Wise Sharp, this extraordinary collection reflects a lifetime of passionate engagement with the medium of clay and its varied histories.

My curatorial residency has allowed me to research and curate a passion project: an exhibition that explores social experiences of scent in historical and contemporary Islamic ceramics.

As part of the Gardiner Museum’s transformation—a once-in-a-generation reimagining of our 9,000-square-foot ground floor—we’re also debuting a major new commission by acclaimed artist Nadia Myre. Her installation will be the first thing visitors encounter when entering the Museum, setting the tone for a renewed space centered on connection, creativity, and Indigeneity.
