From delicate 19th-century watercolours by William Armstrong to contemporary works by artists such as John Hartman and Rosalie Favell, this exhibition highlights how Algoma continues to inspire generations of artists. The majority of the pieces are landscapes, capturing the region's natural beauty. A notable exception is a series of six black-and-white photographic portraits by Rosalie Favell. These portraits, featuring Indigenous women from Algoma who have contributed to the arts, are part of her larger series Facing the Camera.
Some of the featured artists are from Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma, while others were inspired by the region during their travels and visits.
