We are proud to share that Canto Art will be hosting her first public exhibition at the Linda Street Gallery inside the Dovercourt Recreation Centre.
🎨 Exhibit Title: Big Cats
📅 Dates: May 1 – May 31, 2026
📍 Location: Linda Street Gallery, Dovercourt Recreation Centre, 411 Dovercourt Ave, Ottawa, ON K2A 0S9
This striking collection of ready-to-hang paintings features serene lions, powerful tigers, and playful wild felines — each piece full of personality, movement, and vibrant energy.
Most meaningfully, 40% of all proceeds will support Cornerstone Housing for Women, helping provide shelter, housing, and care for women.
Canto Art is a resident of Cornerstone whose creativity has brightened our spaces for years. If you’ve visited our Princeton residence, you may already recognise her beautiful artwork displayed in our common rooms and hallways. Her art also beautifies hallways and common areas at our Eccles and Booth residences. Painting since childhood and primarily self-taught over several colourful decades, Canto Art brings a unique spirit to each subject she creates. She is currently completing year two of a BFA at the University of Ottawa, with plans to continue her studies through a Master’s degree.
Bring a little wild beauty into your home, office, or favourite space — all while supporting women rebuilding their lives through hope, healing, and housing. ❤️
