The Women’s Art Association of Canada (WAAC) is proud to present the 5th Annual Uptown Pride Exhibition, a juried group exhibition celebrating and uplifting the 2SLGBTQI+ community through art, storytelling, and shared experience.
Presented at the Dignam Gallery as part of Pride Toronto 2026’s Affiliate Event programming, the exhibition brings together a diverse range of emerging and established artists whose works explore identity, visibility, love, memory, resilience, joy, and community through a wide variety of mediums and perspectives.
“Each year, Uptown Pride reminds us how much inspiration artists bring to this exhibition,” said Elaine Fleck, Director of Gallery at the Women’s Art Association of Canada and curator of the exhibition. “As an open call show, it is always exciting to see the range of submissions from artists who want to be part of this celebration. Now in its fifth year, and proudly presented as a Pride Toronto Affiliate Event, Uptown Pride continues to welcome artists and audiences into a joyful, creative space that honours community, visibility, and Pride.”
Guided by Pride Toronto’s vision, “to create a world in which all people feel safer, valued, celebrated, and included, regardless of how they identify or who they love,” the exhibition highlights the power of artistic expression as a means of connection, reflection, and advocacy, while reflecting WAAC’s continued commitment to fostering accessible opportunities for artists and creating a welcoming space for community engagement and celebration.
