Remembering Bill Exley of the Nihilist Spasm Band
We at Forest City Gallery are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Bill Exley, lead vocalist of the Nihilist Spasm Band for over 50 years.
Bill lived an extraordinary life and will be deeply missed. In addition to being a long-time member of NSB and paving the way for experimental noise music, Bill was also an inspirational high school English teacher at Elmira District Secondary School.
Our thoughts and condolences go to Bill's family, bandmates, friends, and community members affected by his loss. |

Pricing Your Work with Chrissy Poitras and Kyle Topping
Saturday, July 26 1-4pm Free
Are you interested in submitting work to our annual Member's Show & Sale coming up in November of this year? Not sure how to price your work? This Media Collab workshop is a great opportunity to learn best practices for pricing strategies for your practice!
Join artists Chrissy Poitras and Kyle Topping from Spark Box Studio as they unravel the complex art of pricing your creative work.
While determining the right price for your artwork often feels daunting, understanding this aspect is fundamental to an artist's career. In this session, Chrissy and Kyle will walk you through their pricing methodology, featuring their financial planner which builds from the bottom-up and dives into the nitty gritty. They will share how they determine fair prices for their work and build out budgets for grants and commissions.
We hope that you will join us! |

Check out Stories of Belonging by Colleen Heslin
Colleen Heslin Stories of Belonging May 29 - July 24, 2025 Forest City Gallery (1025 Elias St)
There's one week left to check out the current exhibition Stories of Belonging by Colleen Heslin, on display until July 24th!
Stories of belonging by Colleen Heslin is an installation of six hand-dyed, sewn monochrome abstract paintings that explore colour theory and queer pride. Each work reflects on progressive stages of spiritual, emotional, and psychological awakening brought on by social disconnection and generational dysfunction within western culture. These paintings echo shifts towards presence and self-awareness, from unconscious to consciously bringing attention to subtle nuances within colour spectrums. |
