New Exhibition at Mississauga's Living Arts Centre: Tiny Mighty Heroes!

On January 18, 2020, the Living Arts Centre’s Gallery opened an exciting new exhibition: Tiny Mighty Heroes.  This art exhibition will be open until March 22, 2020. It will also be open on Family Day, February 17, 2020, when thousands of families are in the Centre for a day of free, family-friendly programs.

Tiny Mighty Heroes asks: what makes a person, or an act, heroic? The exhibition features artworks in photography, painting, and sculpture, exploring how a child’s perceptions of and relationships with heroes develop through imagination and play. This exhibition also looks at alternative representations of heroes in popular culture, and celebrates unsung and everyday acts of courage.

Tiny Mighty Heroes is located on the 2nd floor of the Living Arts Centre, open Tuesday – Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Entry is completely free and open to the public – all are welcome!
