The Art Gallery of Mississauga is temporarily closed
The Premier announced that starting Monday November 23, 2020, Peel Region, which includes Mississauga, will move into the Grey lockdown level of Ontario’s Keeping Ontario Safe and Open Framework. The facilities and programs impacted by the lockdown include art galleries and museums. To ensure the health and safety of our employees, volunteers and visitors the AGM will be closed temporarily. We will continue to monitor the situation and look forward to welcoming visitors to the AGM again. As a non-profit arts organization, the AGM is grateful for our community’s continued support through these unprecedented times.

Current Exhibitions
Xiaojing Yan | Qi of Water | material energy | lifeforce of water
JANUARY 12 – MARCH 16, 2021
Born in 1978 in Jiangsu, China, Xiaojing Yan is truly a transnational artist, combining her Chinese roots and education at Nanjing Arts Institute (B.F.A., 2000) and an M.F.A. in sculpture at Indiana University of Pennsylvania (2007.)
Settling permanently in Markham, her work reflects her journey through these various cultures, arriving at her own personal vocabulary.
LAURA BEATON | Invincible (L) Bliss (R)
JANUARY 12 – MARCH 16, 2021
Born in Toronto, Laura is an award winning Visual Fine Art Artist. She began as a faux finishing (special effects) wall painter, but a health issue at the time led her to a life-long study of Chinese Brush Painting and acrylics.
Laura studied Asian art under Ontario-based Master Artists Baoxing ZHANG, William HO and Hiroshi YAMAMOTO. She has studied acrylics/mixed media under Halina Wyluda-Kazmierczak, Mila Duric and Mark Cope.
Laura’s pieces are two-dimensional works that are a fusion of ancient painting techniques and her own creations on rice paper using traditional inks on rice paper, which are then wet-mounted and mounted onto canvas.
Huan Chen | Lotus IV
JANUARY 12 – MARCH 16, 2021
When I was young, I enjoyed drawing, calligraphy and Chinese ink painting but never dreamed of becoming a painter. My long path of discovery began after I immigrated to Canada from Beijing as a teenager. I received my formal training from McGill University with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering. My research was in the environmental engineering field. In 2003, I started painting lessons, which began as a way of expressing myself and ended as a true passion. Then, in 2010 I switched to working full time as a painter and art instructor, and couldn’t be more content!
My formal training has deepened my concerns for the environment. A nature lover, and also fond of figure painting, I often portray the two subjects together as a harmonious yet transitory scene. I am currently exploring the combination of the Asian ink painting technique of Po Mo (splash ink) and Western oil, which offers both the realistic and abstract elements that I enjoy.
