Exhibition Dates: April 2 – April 30
The Quinte Arts Council invites the public to experience Carto / Topo / Geo / Graphic: Rediscovering Lost Maps, a captivating new exhibition by artist and illustrator Carl Wiens.
This body of work represents the culmination of a year of collecting, clipping, collaging, and painting, drawing inspiration from vintage maps and atlases. Through layered compositions and intricate details, Wiens transforms historical cartographic materials into contemporary artworks, revealing new narratives and visual landscapes. Maps become both medium and metaphor—charting journeys through imagination, memory, and discovery.
Carl Wiens has enjoyed a successful career in the arts spanning more than 30 years. His work is deeply inspired by science and the natural world, with a particular fascination for robots, insects, and the universe. In addition to his studio practice, Carl teaches science and technology–based illustration at Sheridan College, where he continues to be inspired by the creativity and dedication of emerging illustrators.
His work has received international recognition from organizations including the Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, 3×3 Magazine, and the Applied Arts Awards. His illustrations have appeared in publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, Forbes, Barron’s, and Esquire. His book projects include The Science of Song, Wild Buildings and Bridges, and FINNA.
When he’s not creating illustrations, Carl enjoys cycling, kayaking, stargazing, chopping wood, and playing hockey. Time spent outdoors and surrounded by nature continues to fuel his creativity.
Featured Artwork:
Night Swimmer
12 × 12″ collage on panel
Join us for the opening reception on April 2 from 4–6 PM and explore a unique artistic journey where geography, memory, and imagination intersect.

Indigenous Creative Spaces and Treaty Partner Gatherings

A Welcoming Invitation
We invite arts organizations, artists, and community members to come together in a spirit of respect, curiosity, and shared responsibility. This gathering offers a space to listen, learn, and build relationships grounded in allyship and understanding.
Led by Dr. Terri-Lynn Brennan and Christine Friday in partnership with ArtsBuild Ontario, this session will explore how we can collectively support Indigenous creative spaces and strengthen our roles as Treaty partners.
About the Session
This interactive working session focuses on the intersection of allyship, Indigenous creative spaces, and self-determination. Together, we will:
Explore how arts organizations can build respectful, reciprocal relationships with Indigenous artists and communities
Reflect on organizational practices and how they can better support Indigenous sovereignty and self-determined spaces
Learn from the guiding principles of the Two-Row Wampum and the Paddling Upstream framework
Develop approaches rooted in humility, respect, and deeper cultural understanding
This workshop also marks the culmination of a four-year Indigenous Creative Spaces Project—bringing together Indigenous artists and leaders from across Ontario to share knowledge, strengthen networks, and support the growth of Indigenous-led creative spaces.
Join Us
This is an opportunity to be part of an important and ongoing conversation—one that centres Indigenous voices, honours relationships, and supports a more inclusive and equitable future in the arts.
All are welcome. We look forward to gathering with you.
