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:Portraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service
DESCRIPTION:From pre-Confederation conflicts through to the war in Afghanistan\, Black Canadians have a proud tradition of military service. They have fought and died for freedom abroad\, even as they have struggled against discrimination at home. \nPortraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service\, a new travelling exhibition circulated by the Canadian War Museum\, celebrates the contributions of Black Canadians in the military through compelling accounts of service and sacrifice from across the country. \nThe exhibition highlights the contributions and experiences of Black men and women from Nova Scotia and southern Ontario — two historic centres of Black migration — as well as from other parts of Canada. \nVisitors will recognize familiar names and events\, such as the story of William Hall\, one of Canada’s first recipients of the Victoria Cross. They will also discover many lesser-known stories\, like that of Connie and Kathleen Brown\, twin sisters who served during the Second World War. \nGuelph Museums has developed a unique\, localized chapter within the national narrative of the touring exhibition. This addendum focuses on the history of Black military service and migration to Guelph\, Ontario\, including the story of First World War servicemen Henry Francis Courtney\, Victor Goines\, Gordon Goines\, and Tom Malott who served in the No. 2 Construction Battalion\, the largest all-Black unit in Canadian military history. \nPortraits – Stories of Black Canadian Military Service was developed by the Canadian War Museum\, Ottawa in partnership with the Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia\, Halifax and the Niagara Military Museum\, Niagara Falls. \nThis exhibition is presented by Guelph Museums with the financial support of the Government of Canada\, through the Canadian Heritage – Exhibition Circulation Fund. \n\n\n\n	Connie and Kathleen Brown \nNiagara Military Museum\n\nConnie et Kathleen Brown \nNiagara Military Museum\n\n \n\n\n	Alvie Burden \nCourtesy of Eric Brunt \n\nAlvie Burden \nAvec l’aimable autorisation d’Eric Blunt\n \n\n\n	David Johnson in Korea \nNiagara Military Museum\n\nDavid Johnson en Corée \nNiagara Military Museum \n \n\n\n	Molly Lamb Bobak Private Roy\, Canadian Women’s Army Corps\,1946 \nBeaverbrook Collection of War Art Canadian War Museum CWM 19710261-1626\n\nMolly Lamb Bobak Soldat Roy\, Service féminin de l’armée canadienne\, 1946 \nCollection Beaverbrook d’art militaire Musée canadien de la guerre MCG 19710261-1626  \n\n\n\n\nPortraits – Le service militaire au sein de communautés noires canadiennes \nDe la période précédant la Confédération jusqu’à la guerre en Afghanistan\, les Canadiens noirs ont une longue et fière tradition de service militaire. Ils ont combattu et donné leur vie pour la liberté à l’étranger\, tout en faisant face à la discrimination au Canada. \nPortraits – Le service militaire au sein de communautés noires canadiennes\, une nouvelle exposition itinérante diffusée par le Musée canadien de la guerre\, célèbre les contributions des Canadiens noirs au sein des forces armées à travers des récits saisissants de service et de sacrifice provenant de partout au pays. \nL’exposition met en lumière les contributions et les expériences d’hommes et de femmes noirs de la Nouvelle-Écosse et du sud de l’Ontario – deux importants centres historiques de migration des communautés noires – ainsi que d’autres régions du Canada. \nLes visiteurs y reconnaîtront des noms et des événements marquants\, notamment l’histoire de William Hall\, l’un des premiers Canadiens à recevoir la Croix de Victoria. Ils découvriront également de nombreux parcours moins connus\, comme celui de Connie et Kathleen Brown\, deux sœurs jumelles ayant servi pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. \nLes Musées de Guelph ont élaboré un volet unique consacré à l’histoire locale dans le cadre du récit national présenté par cette exposition itinérante. Cet ajout met l’accent sur l’histoire du service militaire des Canadiens noirs et de leur migration vers Guelph\, en Ontario. Il présente notamment le parcours de Henry Francis Courtney\, Victor Goines\, Gordon Goines et Tom Malott\, qui ont servi durant la Première Guerre mondiale au sein du 2e bataillon de construction\, la plus importante unité entièrement composée de soldats noirs de l’histoire militaire canadienne. \nPortraits – Le service militaire au sein de communautés noires canadiennes a été réalisé par le Musée canadien de la guerre\, à Ottawa\, en partenariat avec le Black Cultural Centre for Nova Scotia\, à Halifax\, et le Niagara Military Museum\, à Niagara Falls. \nCette exposition est présentée par les Musées de Guelph avec l’appui financier du gouvernement du Canada\, par l’entremise du Fonds pour la circulation des expositions du Patrimoine canadien.
