“True Colours” was a brief exhibit at the Dignam Gallery.  The gallery is run by the Women’s Art Association of Canada and is located in their building on Prince Arthur Street.  This was their 3rd Annual Uptown Pride Exhibition.  Saturday, 29th June is the last day of the show.

One of the nice things about this gallery space is the decor.

At the Women’s Art Association, there are two galleries – the Ruth Upjohn Gallery has its own small room.   At the moment there are some marvelous photos by Ulla Djelweh, “Through the Garden Gate”, of flowers from a garden.  These orchids are hers.
