About Arts Umbrella Founded in 1979 as a non-profit charitable organization, Arts Umbrella was an endeavour buoyed by the dream of five passionate artists and parents. Their dream was to instill in children a love of the arts and to inspire young people to become confident, creative, and compassionate citizens. Over the course of almost five decades, Arts Umbrella has evolved into Canada’s largest multi-disciplinary arts education organization – a dynamic, creative hub, where young people ages 2-22 have the opportunity to cultivate their creativity in Art & Design, Theatre, Music & Film and Dance. Accessibility to arts education is at the core of everything we do. We believe that every young person should have equal opportunity to access a high-quality arts education, regardless of economic or social circumstances. This belief has manifested in 79% of the 20,000 students reached annually, served through bursaries, scholarships, and donor-funded community programs every year. We believe arts education is truly life-changing. We have come a long way, thanks to the dedicated support of our community that have joined us on this journey. Through all of this, our mission remains the same; for young people to have a safe space to access arts education, empowering them to gain self-confidence, develop self-discipline, and discover creative expression—qualities they carry with them for life.

Welcome! It’s our pleasure to share the Splash 2026 Art Catalogue with you - a collection that brings together a remarkable range of voices, each rooted in a deep commitment to creativity and its ability to make a lasting difference in young people’s lives. At Arts Umbrella, artists have always played an essential role in shaping our community. Their work invites connection, encourages new perspectives, and reflects the many stories that make up our world. Their passion and generosity are at the core of what makes Splash such a meaningful and inspiring event, and we are truly grateful for the outstanding contributions featured in this year’s catalogue. We would like to sincerely thank our Splash 2026 Co-Chairs, Christie Garofalo and Bruce Munro Wright, who are celebrating 10 incredible years as Co-Chairs, as well as our dedicated Splash Committee, for their leadership and vision. Our deep appreciation also goes to Nicola Wealth for their continued support as Presenting Sponsor, and to the many sponsors, donors, attendees, volunteers, staff, and collectors across Canada and internationally. Your involvement helps open doors for young people to explore, grow, and thrive through the arts. Splash is more than an event - it’s a reflection of what can happen when a community comes together around a shared purpose. With creativity at its centre, it points toward a future full of possibility, where every young person has the chance to experience the transformative power of the arts.

Divyesh Gadhia Chair, Arts Umbrella Board of Directors

Paul Larocque President & CEO Arts Umbrella

For more than four decades, Splash has brought people together through a shared love of art and a commitment to giving back. We’re thrilled to introduce Splash 2026, continuing a legacy that began as a small charitable auction and has grown into a dynamic gathering of artists, galleries, supporters, and community leaders. Every contribution plays a meaningful role in broadening access to exceptional arts education - opening doors for young people and strengthening the communities around them. We are deeply thankful to the artists, galleries, partners, and donors whose generosity makes this work possible. We also extend our sincere appreciation to the Splash 2026 Committees in Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto. Your vision and hard work are reflected in every aspect of this year’s event. Together, we celebrate not only what Splash has achieved, but all that it continues to make possible in the years ahead.

Christie Garofalo Splash Co-Chair Celebrating 10 years

Bruce Munro Wright, OBC Splash Co-Chair Celebrating 10 years

Welcome to Splash! Thank you for being part of the Splash and Arts Umbrella community. What brings us together is more than support for a cause. It is a shared belief that creativity belongs to every young person, whatever their circumstances. For more than 45 years, Arts Umbrella has delivered on that one conviction. It has built a place where children and youth discover what they can make, and in doing so, discover something about who they are: confidence, resilience, the willingness to try something difficult in front of others. Those qualities shape a life, whether or not a child ever pursues the arts professionally. Their commitment shows up at scale. This past year, over 20,000 young people accessed Arts Umbrella's programs, 79% of them through donor-funded initiatives, across 135 community locations: classrooms, health centers, childcare centers, and more. 570 bursaries and scholarships were awarded, and nearly 6,000 students attended an Arts Umbrella performance at little or no cost. None of that happens by accident. Arts Umbrella programs are designed so a child's circumstances never determine their opportunity to create. We see this work from a dual vantage point: as Presenting Sponsor and, personally, having recently completed a four-year run as Chair of the Arts Umbrella Foundation and now serving as Co-Chair of the Arts Umbrella Endowment Campaign. From both seats, what stands out is the intention behind the work: every program, every bursary, every location exists because someone decided a child’s postal code or family income should never be the reason they don’t get a world-class arts education. Nicola Wealth is proud to support Arts Umbrella as the Presenting Sponsor of Splash. Access, inclusion, innovation, and impact are values we hold at Nicola Wealth. Arts Umbrella brings them to life daily, and being part of it, even in a small way, matters deeply to us. To the artists, educators, donors, sponsors, and volunteers who make this possible: thank you. This community, and everything it funds, exists because of you. Your support of Arts Umbrella helps make creativity, opportunity, and possibility accessible to young people every day. It becomes something visible: A performance. A canvas. A new skill. A young person who leaves believing in what they can create, and what they can become.

With Gratitude to Our Impact Supporters Our Impact Supporters ensure that Arts Umbrella can continue to provide stimulating and inclusive arts education for young people throughout our communities. An arts education opens doors to vibrant arts programs where students are mentored by practicing professional artists who inspire, challenge, and nurture their talents. In safe and inclusive spaces, young artists are encouraged to explore their creative passions, build confidence, and express themselves fully. Beyond artistic growth, these experiences foster meaningful peer connections and a powerful sense of belonging and community. Our vision is to provide these profound life experiences through arts education to as many young people as we can.

For more than 40 years, Splash has been instrumental in generously furthering our mission to provide access to quality arts education for young people. We are saddened by the recent loss of three dear members of our Splash community: artists Gathie Falk and Pat O’Hara, and longtime supporter Ingunn Kemble.

Gathie Falk Gathie Falk was a nationally acclaimed artist whose practice transcended categorization, working with equal mastery across painting, sculpture, installation, and performance, while transforming the everyday into something quietly extraordinary. Represented by Equinox Gallery, Gathie received many awards and acknowledgements, including the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts (2003), Viva Award for Lifetime Achievement (2012), and the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts (2013). A devoted advocate for the arts, Gathie generously donated her work to the Splash Art Auction for 11 years, helping to raise vital funds that supported young people in discovering their creative potential.

Pat O’Hara Pat O’Hara, represented by Bau-Xi Gallery, was known for work that explored the interplay of emotion, environment, and creative impulse. Working primarily in acrylic, she embraced what she described as a “game of challenge, chance, and obsession,” drawing inspiration from travel, memory, and lived experience. A much-loved member of Arts Umbrella’s founding instructional faculty, Pat inspired countless young artists to create with courage and curiosity. She was also deeply committed to Splash, having donated for 28 years, helping Arts Umbrella to grow into the impactful organization it is today.

Ingunn Kemble Throughout her life, Ingunn Kemble was a passionate educator, a fierce supporter of artists, and champion of creativity. From teaching students of all ages - from preschool through university - to building a distinguished career in the visual arts, she believed deeply in the power of artistic expression to enrich lives and strengthen communities. Ingunn was a treasured member of the Arts Umbrella family and a driving force behind Splash during its formative years. As a dedicated member of the Splash Committee from 1994 to 2005, she led the event's art component with exceptional vision, overseeing artwork selection, auction details, and the curation and installation of the exhibitions that transformed Performance Works on Granville Island each year. Her deep knowledge of the arts, combined with her unwavering commitment to artists and arts education, made her an invaluable leader and mentor. She gave generously of her time, energy, and expertise, always with grace, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for the community she served.

Ingunn Kemble, Bill Reid, and Carol Henriquez

Those who worked alongside Ingunn remember not only her tireless dedication but also the joy she brought to every project. Long days and late nights preparing for Splash were made brighter by her warmth, humour, and encouragement. Whether carefully hanging artwork high on a ladder or ensuring every detail was just right, she inspired everyone around her with her integrity, and belief in Arts Umbrella's mission. Ingunn leaves behind a lasting legacy of service, friendship, and artistic excellence. She will be remembered with great affection and gratitude, and her contributions will continue to be felt throughout the Arts Umbrella community for years to come.

Doug’s involvement in Splash has also put a spotlight on other important Indigenous artists, including Robert Davidson, Larry Rosso, Phil Gray, Jesse Brillon, and Kyran Yeomans, among others. Over the years, Doug has generously shared not only extraordinary works of art with Arts Umbrella, but also the trust and relationships he has built throughout the Northwest Coast art community. In doing so, he has introduced generations of acclaimed Indigenous artists to Splash, leaving an enduring mark on the auction and deepening Arts Umbrella's connection to the rich artistic traditions of the Northwest Coast.

A first-prize winner at the International Photography Awards and the Fine Art Photography Awards, he was also named the 2026 winner of the Hasselblad Masters for his Movieland series.

MOSES SALIHOU

Contemplative 1, 2026 Oil on canvas 60 × 48 in Donated by the Artist Courtesy of Nicholas Metivier Gallery, Toronto Estimated market value: $12,000 Moses Salihou is a Cameroonian artist based in Toronto. He explores the ideas of belonging and existence by creating work that blends elements of portraiture and abstraction. Central to Salihou’s work is his belief that human beings are composites of various experiences, beliefs, and emotions. Salihou’s gestural application leaves the defining features on the faces of his portraits only loosely representational. These rich surface effects provide Salihou’s work with a sense of dynamism that captures the fluidity and movement he ascribes to the concepts of identity and personhood.

Poem, 2026 Acrylic between resin on panel 60 × 40 in Donated by the Artist Estimated market value: $16,000 Vancouver-born Athena Bax’s professional career as an artist has spanned 35 years. Bax began her career working in design for companies including Distinctive Software and Electronic Arts, where she created characters and worlds for digital games for the likes of Disney and The Simpsons. Believing deeply in the power of philanthropy, Bax says, “For me, it’s simple. My art is here to serve”. Known for her watery landscapes, poetic florals, and canine and equine portraiture, Bax’s paintings have been described as, “visually beautiful, leaving one feeling uplifted”. Notable private and corporate collections include Fiore Financial Corp, Wedgewood Hotel & Spa, Bosa Developments, Cliff Lede Winery, Mr. & Mrs. Ryan Beedie, and former US President Bill Clinton. Most recently, Bax completed a commission for the Rosewood Hotel Georgia in Vancouver. Poem is a first of its kind in technique from the artist. After the first image is painted on the panel, showing a little bird on a branch, the artist then paints multiple layers of the hydrangea blooms “between” three separate un-cured resin pours.

Lot 05 MAGGIE HALL

You’re Still Young, 2026 Acrylic on canvas 36 × 24 in Donated by the Artist Courtesy of Masters Gallery Ltd., Calgary Estimated market value: $19,800 Maggie Hall is a multidisciplinary Canadian artist celebrated for her vivid explorations of nostalgia, identity, and womanhood. Working across a range of media including painting, print, and digital techniques, Hall’s practice is deeply rooted in personal storytelling. Her work often emerges from lived experience, translating emotional complexity into visual form. Her latest acclaimed series, CMYK, was inspired by a period of personal upheaval. The carefully ordered placement of hand rendered dots, created using airbrush and pipette in the four foundational colours of printing, became a meditative process through which she reconciled emotional disorder into visual harmony. These original acrylic on canvas works reimagine the language of mass production as intimate and human. Maggie Hall has exhibited annually with Masters Gallery Ltd. in Calgary since 2020. Her exhibition history includes appearances at Art Toronto in 2022 and 2023, as well as a 2025 solo exhibition with Holt Renfrew, which featured a public conversation on fashion and art with Canadian cultural icon Jeanne Beker. Recent international art fairs include Art Miami 2025 and Palm Beach 2026. Hall made her Italian debut with Love You to Death exhibition, presented in Venice at Palazzo Priuli Bon and Domus Civica from May to November 2026. lovemaggiehall.com @lovemaggiehall Image credit: Masters Gallery Ltd.

Born in Edmonton in 1953, Kerr earned a biology degree from the University of Calgary before translating his global travels into a prolific career spanning over four decades. His evolving artistic practice spans painting, collage, set design, and murals. Rather than using traditional landscapes, Kerr utilizes bold abstraction and collage to explore Canadian identity and the fragmented nature of contemporary life. Beyond his studio, Kerr is a historic figure in health activism. Diagnosed with HIV in 1985, his landmark 2005 legal battle against the Canadian government secured emergency access to life-saving antiretroviral drugs, paving the way for others. Today, he mentors youth, supports healthcare philanthropy, and creates public installations for major Canadian medical and cultural institutions.

Working extensively throughout Asia, particularly in Hong Kong and Shanghai, his images examine urban life at moments of profound change, creating an enduring record of places on the cusp of disappearance.

In 2024, his Under Vancouver photographic series inspired Lucie and Luke Meier's Jil Sander Spring/Summer 2025 collection, with his images appearing as prints on garments and informing the collection's palette and atmosphere. This year The Polygon Gallery presented Greg Girard, the artist's first major career survey, bringing together photographs spanning more than five decades of his practice.

She has been exploring floral subject matter for over forty years. Her masterful landscapes utilize decisive, economical strokes, and rich colour to achieve depth, vitality, and immersiveness. Evrard says of her work: “What most intrigues me as subject matter for my paintings are the most ordinary things: still life objects that I see around the house day after day but that resonate for me in their familiarity and rather unremarkable landscapes in which I can find a particular quiet, understated beauty and mystery. I paint to see what it is I am looking at. Making art is a way of taking possession, a way of finding out how things really are, or perhaps of making them as I would like them to be.” Evrard’s work is included in collections of the Canada Council Art Bank, Vancouver Art Gallery, Seattle Arts Commission Public Works Collection, Government of BC, Ministry of Culture Art Collection, Burnaby Art Gallery, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Simon Fraser University, and The Claridge Collection, Montreal. Evrard received a B.A. in Art and Anthropology from Brown University and an M.A. and M.F.A. in studio art with a concentration in printmaking from the University of Iowa.

RICHARD G. HENRIQUEZ

Washed Ashore, 2026 Digital collage Giclée print on canvas with acrylic painted stripe 28 ½ × 68 ½ in | Ed. 1/3 Donated by the Artist Estimated market value: $13,500 Jamaica-born Richard Henriquez is an internationally known architect and artist who lives in Vancouver. Washed Ashore affords us a view unto a place where the past, present and future occupy the same planes of existence. Ghostlike, silhouetted figures dot the scape. At once, the viewer and the viewed, anonymous, and eternally ambiguous, they ponder the skeletal, nearly pre-historic remains and angular armature of a deserted, biological and humanmade form that now lies grounded. A geological sense of time pervades this world, and a slippage of language operates as its defining logic. The egg-like form occupying the center of the composition, like an omnipotent oculus, hints at the blind recurring promise of new life. In a world drained of colour under the forever island sun, a caution-tape coloured vector stands as the only exception. Inviting us in to join in the hopes shared by the draftsman, the helmsman, and the pilot to envision and plot new existences, this maze-like angle serves as both a chromatic interruption and a possible warning about the most ancient of desires ... to be all knowing! Shifts in scale, place, and narrative in Washed Ashore work to collectively open a glimpse of our place in a larger continuum, not with the goal of delivering answers, but instead guided by an eternal bliss in the power of wonder that lives in that which lies beyond our grasp. henriquezpartners.com @richardghenriquez

MICHAEL CORNER

Sheep, 2026 Oil on canvas 60 × 60 in Donated by the Artist Courtesy of Masters Gallery Ltd., Calgary Estimated market value: $20,000 Michael Corner is a Canadian painter whose work explores the intersection of art history and contemporary consciousness. His Alphabet Series layers canonical Western paintings into abstracted backdrops for enigmatic text and symbolism in the foreground. Viewers are invited to participate intellectually and emotionally in decoding each work, which grapples with themes of sexuality, digital identity, and the evolving role of image making in the age of information. Rooted in traditional oil painting techniques, Corner’s compositions are simultaneously referential and forward looking. His current practice reflects a deep engagement with the impact of technology on the self, grounded in historical visual culture. Michael Corner has exhibited with Masters Gallery Ltd. since 2018, building growing recognition for his contemporary interpretations of art history. Recent exhibitions include Art Miami 2025, where he presented new works from his Alphabet Series. In 2026, Corner made his European debut with Cliché, presented at CREA in Venice from May to November, exploring the enduring influence of Western imagery and cultural assumptions on contemporary life. mastersgalleryltd.com/ artists/33-michael-corner/exhibitions @ruby_tooth

Palmera Real, 2023 Watercolour on paper 11 ½ × 10 ½ in Donated by the Artist Courtesy of Pale Fire, Vancouver Estimated market value: $2,185 Maru Aponte’s research explores the ecological, cultural, and psychological aspects of water. Working between Canada, Houston and Puerto Rico, drafting sketches en plein air on the island as starting point. By using color and light as phenomenological tools, they reframe the landscape through a diasporic experience and Caribbean identity. Her paintings challenge traditional notions of watercolor, embracing its fluidity to explore the physicality of memory. Aponte’s practice unfolds through water—not merely as subject, but as an active collaborator. She explores conditional spaces in her work, using expanded painting to construct large-scale paper sculptures that function simultaneously as background, spatial depth, and shape. She created The Sea is a House, presented at the Art Gallery of Ontario in June 2025, inviting viewers to walk through a language of waves and torn edges. Aponte holds an MFA from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and a BFA from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. In 2023 Aponte was the Emily Carr Fellowship Resident at Griffin Art Projects, North Vancouver, and a resident at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in 2024, and the Artist in residence at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 2025. themaruaponte.com @maruaponte

You Sang to the Moon, 2026 Watercolour, cotton paper, and adhesive 21 × 17 in Donated by the Artist Estimated market value: $1,200 Crissy Arseneau’s geometric watercolour works sit between painting, collage, and sculpture. Predispositions to problem-solving, applying order, and striving for exactness are ever present in her approach. Hand-painted and hand-cut with precision, elements are puzzled together into low-relief forms that recall isometric architectural renderings and geological cross-sections. Though their surface is level and static, the works produce an illusion of volume and movement, activating the eye and mind with subtle perceptual challenges, encouraging curiosity and deliberate looking. Arseneau lives and works in Vancouver. Her practice explores attention and contemplation, time and place, and our relationship to the natural and built environments. crissyarseneau.com @crissyarseneau

Fine Art, Vancouver Estimated market value: $2,800 Judy Chartrand is a contemporary artist of Manitoba Cree heritage based in Vancouver. Chartrand grew up in the notoriously disadvantaged urban corridor of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side. Her work contains rich elements of ready-made appropriations and repurposed materials. Chartrand’s practice is characterized by a keen interest in social circuits of value, in both art and consumer society. Using the humour of appropriation with a cutting cynicism, Chartrand’s work exposes urgent issues around racism, ignorance and privilege.

Cola Bottles & Friends, 2026 Hydrocal sculpture on panel 24 × 24 in Donated by the Artist Estimated market value: $1,700 Lindsay Cohen is an artist living and working in North Vancouver.

Using custom silicone molds that the artist fashions herself, she casts replicas of desserts from hydrocal, a plaster-like compound with a creamy matte finish. The process of replicating shapes and textures from real candies and ice cream cones is messy and fraught with mistakes, and is centred on reconnection with real things in a time when so much feels simulated. lindsaycohenart.com @lindsaycohenart

His work is informed by television and cinema, particularly Westerns, ‘70s sci-fi and Saturday morning cartoons. Using ultra-saturated colours, references to art history and well-worn cinema tropes, he seeks to understand the alienation to his own cultural backgrounds, both indigenous and settler. His work is an examination of his own life through the reinterpretation of family stories using characters and motifs from the pop culture he was weaned on.

By depicting the perspective of looking out as a driver or passenger during inclement weather, my aim is to evoke feelings of comfort for the viewer, feelings which can sometimes be tinged with moodiness, or even melancholy. What I love about this series is that it allows me in many ways to play with the boundary between representation and abstraction, and that`s a freedom that is endlessly fascinating and challenging.” postillartworks.com @jamespostillart

Lot 87 GEORGE VERGETTE

Step Into The Light, 2018 Resin, acrylic and oil stick on panel 18 × 15 in Donated by the Artist Estimated market value: $1,500 George Vergette is a contemporary artist living and working in Vancouver. Vergette’s practice explores the collusion of surface and depth, and the suggestion of disclosure and obscurity. The artist’s work to date has consisted primarily of complex multi-layered pigmented resin paintings. The works are lush, aesthetically seductive, and process oriented, sometimes incorporating text, both conceptually and aesthetically, as a visual device to offset the layered depth of the paintings. The images are both cryptic and partial, conveying the incompletion of memory and the potential obscurity of the personal archive. Vergette’s work is featured in private and corporate collections including: GMP Toronto and Montreal; Canaccord Capital, Toronto, Houston, and New York; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts; and Nordstrom America. georgevergette.com @g_vergette

Fine Art, Vancouver Estimated market value: $4,500 Encompassing a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, performance, and installation, the practice of Charlene Vickers operates as a visionary expression of what the artist terms embodied territory. Giving vital form to the lands, histories and relations of her birthplace in Wauzhushk Onigum as they are felt, imagined, and carried across distance, Vickers’ works lucidly manifest ancestral connections, cultural reclamations, and her territorial presence as Anishinaabe Kwe, while responding formally to the Coast Salish land she has resided upon for the past thirty years. Some recent exhibitions and accolades include, the 2025 Sobey Award Long List, Ascending Horizons, McMaster Museum of Art (2025), Indian Theatre, CCS BARD Hessel Museum, Hudson, NY (2023); Reverberations: Contemporary Art and Modern Classics, Seattle Art Museum (2023), Good Foot Forward, Toronto (2023), Where Do We Go From Here?

Over, Under and Through, 2026 Textiles, acrylic, and oil stick on canvas 32 × 16 in Donated by the Artist Courtesy of Kostuik Gallery, Vancouver Estimated market value: $1,800 Nicole Young finds textiles to be so closely tied to memory, she explores this sensibility through her material choices and titles of her artworks. Young uses a combination of natural pigments (her own painted canvas), recycled canvas and paints, and repurposed textiles (often found in thrift stores) all stitched and sewn into a new image to convey memories that call to a sense of nostalgia. Through the lens of environmentalism, her process also creates a dialogue about waste-free practices.
