Thanks to JP Albert for the generous loan of work that led to this retrospective of Floyd Kuptana's career.
-
The ongoing display of stone carvings throughout the gallery began as a memorial to master sculptor Floyd Kuptana after he passed away in May 2021.
-
In 2022 the gallery staged a major exhibition of Kuptana's paintings, pastels and sculptures with the contribution of many pieces belonging to the artist's longtime collaborator and friend, Jean-Paul Albert. At the time curator deborah harris wrote: "It is still hard to imagine that [Floyd] is not here with us, working, laughing, growling. We miss him."
-
Since then many of the sculptures have remained on display in multiple rooms throughout the four-floor gallery building, becoming part of the changing installations devised by harris. See below for a list of our individual spaces as well as our Eventbrite profile for current shows.
-
Floyd Kuptana was born on February 14, 1964 at Cape Parry, Northwest Territories. The arctic landscape ran through him as did the concrete shoreline of Lake Ontario, and the city streets he walked on. He made his home where he was. He left behind an extraordinary wealth of creatures some of which you can see displayed at Gallery Arcturus, a regular destination of the artist during the latter part of his career.
-
Here Kuptana engaged with other artists which often resulted in unusual collaborations or mutual challenges to work in new media including paint, pastel and collage. Much of this work is recorded in books published by the gallery and available for sale or free viewing on our websites.
-
We invite you to spend time with the sculptures [as well as the books available in our libraries] and to meet Floyd through his work. On view in the main floor gallery is "prayer for creation", the latest installation by the curator.
-
Voyage through nine exhibit spaces from Tuesday to Saturday, 12 noon to 5:30pm. All areas require stairs to access.

He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Toronto.
It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!

[more+]Thanks to JP Albert for the generous loan of work that led to this retrospective of Floyd Kuptana's career.
-
The ongoing display of stone carvings throughout the gallery began as a memorial to master sculptor Floyd Kuptana after he passed away in May 2021.
-
In 2022 the gallery staged a major exhibition of Kuptana's paintings, pastels and sculptures with the contribution of many pieces belonging to the artist's longtime collaborator and friend, Jean-Paul Albert. At the time curator deborah harris wrote: "It is still hard to imagine that [Floyd] is not here with us, working, laughing, growling. We miss him."
-
Since then many of the sculptures have remained on display in multiple rooms throughout the four-floor gallery building, becoming part of the changing installations devised by harris. See below for a list of our individual spaces as well as our Eventbrite profile for current shows.
-
Floyd Kuptana was born on February 14, 1964 at Cape Parry, Northwest Territories. The arctic landscape ran through him as did the concrete shoreline of Lake Ontario, and the city streets he walked on. He made his home where he was. He left behind an extraordinary wealth of creatures some of which you can see displayed at Gallery Arcturus, a regular destination of the artist during the latter part of his career.
-
Here Kuptana engaged with other artists which often resulted in unusual collaborations or mutual challenges to work in new media including paint, pastel and collage. Much of this work is recorded in books published by the gallery and available for sale or free viewing on our websites.
-
We invite you to spend time with the sculptures [as well as the books available in our libraries] and to meet Floyd through his work. On view in the main floor gallery is "prayer for creation", the latest installation by the curator.
-
Voyage through nine exhibit spaces from Tuesday to Saturday, 12 noon to 5:30pm. All areas require stairs to access.

[more+]He earned his stripes on Broadway… now the ghost-with-the-most is coming to Toronto.
It’s showtime! Based on Tim Burton’s dearly beloved film, this hilarious musical tells the story of Lydia Deetz, a strange and unusual teenager whose whole life changes when she meets a recently deceased couple and a demon with a thing for stripes. With an irreverent book, an astonishing set, and a score that’s out of this Netherworld, BEETLEJUICE is “SCREAMINGLY GOOD FUN!” (Variety). And under its uproarious surface (six feet under, to be exact), it’s a remarkably touching show about family, love, and making the most of every Day-O!
