SUMMARY:Where The Rivers Meet
DESCRIPTION:Where The Rivers Meet is a display within the City Gallery that centers the Original Peoples who have been on this land since time immemorial. It includes information about migration\, land relationship\, treaties\, impacts of colonization\, and past and present-day perspectives. The display also considers the founding story of Guelph within the context of a longer history lens. \nThis display is a living exhibition that reflects the truth as we understand it today. We continue to learn from our treaty partner\, the Missisaugas of the Credit First Nation\, and from Indigenous people who call Guelph home today. The display will continue to be updated as our knowledge grows.

SUMMARY:Art as We Are: Creative Community Care
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Art Not Shame and Guelph Museums\, Art as We Are: Creative Community Care spotlights three projects centred in collective community-making through art and involving about 200 local creators: Art in Hard Times (2020)\, Art in a Just Recovery (2023)\, and Community Fabric (2024). The exhibition also shares the origin story of Art Not Shame\, a community-engaged\, multidisciplinary arts organization serving youth and adults in Guelph and across Ontario since 2017. \nIn 2020\, artist Melanie Schambach led a team of artists and social support workers in the creation of The Mural Project: Art in Hard Times. Collectively\, they aimed to amplify the voices of those who identified as: newcomers\, LGBTQ21+\, Black\, Indigenous\, people of colour\, street engaged\, adults with developmental exceptionalities\, and youth struggling with mental health and addictions. \nIn 2023\, Art Not Shame\, Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, and artist Melanie Schambach collaborated on Art in a Just Recovery: Reconnecting to Us\, a project that explored community care in pandemic recovery. Through a series of in-person and online art-making workshops\, participants were partnered with Art Buddies in creating artworks that came together in a large-scale mural. \nIn 2024\, Art Not Shame\, Guelph Neighbourhood Support Coalition\, and Guelph Museums collaborated on the Community Fabric project 一 a ten-week community-arts series in which participants worked together to create a community quilt\, build social connections\, and develop skills to support their mental health and wellbeing. The completed quilt will be unveiled in the exhibition Art as We Are: Creative Community Care\, which opened for public viewing on Saturday\, August 24.

SUMMARY:Darkness and Light: Inside the Ontario Reformatory
DESCRIPTION:For over 100 years\, the Ontario Reformatory/Guelph Correctional Centre was imbedded in lives of the people of Guelph. The exhibition shares stories from within the institution\, addressing misconceptions\, propaganda\, and myths – some perpetuated by the institution itself and recounted in public archives. \nOfficially opened in 1911\, the Ontario Reformatory evolved to be many things\, including the Guelph Correctional Centre from 1972 until its decommission in 2003. The historical record of the property and institution is vast and only partially preserved. There are more stories to tell and many lesser-known aspects of the history to explore. \nThe reformatory was a place of duality: from reform intentions\, which aimed to improve the lives of those who were incarcerated\, to being one of Canada’s most notorious prisons. Despite the lack of humanity within the institution\, some inmates and staff held hope\, creativity\, and a vision for life beyond the cell walls. \nThe history of the Ontario Reformatory/Guelph Correctional Centre is complex and uncomfortable. Guest curated by P. Brian Skerrett\, “Darkness and Light: Inside the Ontario Reformatory” aims to share historical truths as lessons from the past that can inform our actions today and help us to shape a better tomorrow. \nLearn About the “Go-By” Podcast\nRead an article about the podcast here \nWatch The Recording – The Reformatory: Within and Beyond the Cell Walls\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nLeft to right (details): Soldiers in the Billiards Room at Speedwell Military Convalescent Hospital\, circa 1919 (Guelph Museums 1978.6.4); Painting created in 1985 by John J.
