The 2010 Expo presented a major exhibition of China’s leading master of monumental work on the medium of rice paper (zhii), Zheng Hui Lan, with both vertical and horizontal pieces up to 12 feet by 40 feet. Merging contemporary influences and traditional perspectives these installations were simply breathtaking. This exposition within the “Paper-Washi-Hanji-Zhii-Papier” feature of the 2010 Expo offered for the first time in Toronto that a collection of such noted works were shown.

In 2009 David McClyment, writer, educator, visual artist & acting coordinator of Visual Arts at Centennial College, chose themes and artists for a 4-lecture series “Why this is good art.”

Alan Bryce of Passagesart, author of Art Smart presented two lectures focusing on buying art as an ‘Investment in Art that you love.’
