Women’s Art Association of Canada (WAAC) is excited to present the Darkness Into Light show in the beautiful Dignam Gallery. This is the first show since the lockdown and the reopening of the WAAC building, and features 56 works by 33 artist-members of WAAC, all of which were created over the past six months, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each piece highlights the artists’ creative work during the lockdown and the challenges faced during these unprecedented times. There is an intriguing selection of mediums and styles, and each work is exceptionally dynamic and engaging.
