This exciting project will be showcased at Impact 7, an International Multi-Disciplinary Printmaking Conference held bi-annually in different countries throughout the world. In 2011, Impact is being held in Melbourne, Australia at Monash University. Miner for a Heart was selected through a highly competitive proposal process as one of the feature exhibitions for this global conference.
The curatorial premise of this exhibition is that each of these artists migrated to Toronto from other countries, other provinces or small towns in Ontario. The exhibited work foregrounds their relationship with the city and their negotiations between the personal and political. It crosses disciplines to incorporate printmaking into sculpture, drawing, video and installation.

To accompany this exhibition a catalogue has been published and will be launched at Open Studio in Toronto, in November.
This project is a curatorial initiative of the Membership Committee of Open Studio.
