Colours Within

WHERE FEELINGS TAKE FORM IN COLOUR

September 3 to September 20, 2025

Location:  Parkview Gallery, Neilson Park Creative Centre, 56 Neilson Drive, Etobicoke, ON M9C 1V7

Presented by: Artusiasm

Opening Reception: Thursday, September 4 from 7 pm to 9 pm

Colours have the power to speak a language all their own—one that transcends words and connects directly to the heart. Colours Within is a vibrant group exhibition that invites you to step into a world where every hue carries emotion, memory, and meaning.

From the passionate energy of fiery reds to the calming embrace of tranquil blues, and every shade in between, these works invite you to explore the many ways artists use colour to reveal what lies beneath the surface. Sometimes bold and saturated, other times soft and understated, the pieces in this show mirror the human experience—our joys, sorrows, dreams, and quiet reflections.

The exhibition brings together a diverse range of styles and subjects, including bold abstractions, expressive portraits, and realism-inspired landscapes. Each piece offers its own window into the artist’s inner world, creating a collective conversation about how colour can inspire, comfort, provoke, and connect.

Call for Artists

Artusiasm is proud to host an open themed art exhibition Colours Within, at the Parkview Gallery at Neilson Park Creative Centre. We invite artists of all backgrounds, styles, and mediums to submit their work.
