Into the Void and Out of the Void is the first solo exhibition of work by Carmine Aspen as a mixed-media artist. This exhibition is designed to be a journey into the many forms joy takes though an artist’s creations. Most of Carmine’s work is informed by their journey navigating a very chaotic and melancholic mind: bright and hopeful but equally existential and depressive. This collection highlights that dichotomy by bringing together works that were created with a desire to discover what things bring joy regardless of their state of mind.
Paint flowing in whatever way made sense and made the canvas more inviting; the flow of ink as an understanding of its nature grew; the soothing rhythm of bringing needle to fabric in a orderly way; favorite bits and pieces of paper coming together to create new things; the smooth glide of mud under a spatula; or bringing to light places that would better suit being in a story.
Come enjoy this diverse collection of eclectic palettes and surreal expressions that lean into the fantastical & abstract, created in a wide range of mediums: collage, paint, embroidery, and more.
About the Artist
Carmine Aspen is a Calgary born mixed-media artist. They specialize in finding new and fun ways to mix up all kinds of mediums together to create colourful, surreal, and abstract pieces. If they can use their hands to make something pretty and chaotic, they’re in. They’ve been creating since they were a child as a way to keep their active ADHD brain happy and as a much-needed source of relief from an ongoing series of mental health issues. They choose to see art in everything and truly believe anything can be used for art. When they’re not creating physical art, you can find them immersed in Calgary’s vibrant writing and live performance scenes.

Great Treasures of Gold: A Canadian Latter-day Saint Religious Art Exhibition

Level 3 & 4
November 7 – November 27, 2025
8:00 AM – 8:00 PM (Closed Sundays)
Opening Reception: November 6 | 6:30-9:00pm
This exhibition celebrates the rich tradition of Latter-day Saint art in Canada, featuring nearly 100 original works by both living and deceased Canadian artists. The showcase highlights the diverse expressions of faith and creativity that have emerged within the community.
The title, “Great Treasures of Gold,” is inspired by a conversation between early pioneer Charles Card and Samuel Smith, the brother of Joseph Smith, Jr. Smith recalled a prophecy made in an 1843 priesthood meeting within the Nauvoo Temple, in which it was stated that “[Canada] would never persecute the Saints as a nation. She would gather up great treasures of gold and yet we should seek refuge in her dominion.”
The phrase “Great Treasures of Gold” symbolizes not only the material wealth Canada was prophesied to gather, but also the spiritual and cultural richness accumulated over more than a century of Latter-day Saint presence in the country. This exhibition pays tribute to the enduring artistic legacy that has flourished within this land of refuge.
