About

Leah Gold is a visual artist and community arts facilitator. Her drawings and ceramics use playful and fantastical imagery to explore emotional states and imaginary worlds, and have been exhibited locally and internationally. Leah’s studio work feeds directly into her practice as a community artist and educator. She has facilitated projects for such organizations as TIFF, The Koffler Centre of the Arts, Arts Etobicoke, Lakeshore Arts, and the Kapisanan Philippine Centre for the Arts. With Hijinks Collective, she creates participatory, multidisciplinary projects that combine a DIY ethos with professional calibre visual and sound art production. Her upcoming projects include a residency at Maria Shchuka Library, where Leah will be working with library patrons to produce a kaleidoscopic print and collage installation that will transport the viewers to an idyllic garden setting - an escape from our current reality, built on our collective efforts and creativity. Leah holds a BFA from Concordia University, and is currently based in Toronto.
