I figured it was time to share an update on the Westland building, which, as you probably know by now, is currently for sale. While our intention is for the Westland Gallery business to eventually move down the road to The Art Exchange building, the 156 Wortley Rd. address remains for sale.
Over the past few months, there’s been quite a bit of interest in the building, but nothing that makes us ready to leave the building just yet. The building will remain available for purchase in the coming months. Until someone comes along who we think can look after our historical building and give back to the village, the gallery will stay in this building, continuing on with our planned exhibitions for 2025 and 2026.
Our next exhibition is a solo show by Lisa Johnson, and it is going to be a knockout. Lisa spent a month in Newfoundland at an artist residency in Pouch Cove, painting absolutely stunning landscapes. I can’t recommend visiting Lisa’s show, opening on October 28th, enough. It’s certainly a must-see.

Unfortunately, because of the time required to plan the Square Foot Show, we have decided not to do it this year. Both the planning of the show and the returning of artwork take months and months to complete, and we couldn’t commit to a show of this scale this year.
I know there are going to be many disappointed artists and collectors, but it just wasn’t the right timing, with the potential sale of the building.
In place of the Square Foot Show, we have a number of small pieces by our gallery artists on their way for December! We will also be presenting pieces from the estates of several renowned London artists to be sold at very accessible prices for collectors who would like to own a piece. We will have work from the estates of Helmut Becker, Herb Ariss, and Kerry Ferris, to name just a few.

Forest City Gallery is awash with works by West Coast artist Les Ramsay. Comprised of 11 pieces, “Maritime Minute” includes bold paintings, an intriguing sculpture and a compelling needlepoint. All, says exhibit material, speak to “the vulnerability of natural systems” and use “mood, material, and motion to guide the viewer.”
The works vary in size, from a petite 8 by 6 inches to a hulking 60 by 59 inches. Colour abounds. While most works are clear in what they depict, they are ambiguous in what they represent.
The tiny needlepoint “Salvation Mountain”, with its apparent smokestacks, cultivated land and waterfall alludes to the vulnerability of nature.
(“Salvation Mountain”, needlepoint, 8 by 6 inches, 2016. Photo by Beth Stewart.)
The physically imposing “Keys to Success” and “Tempest Rose”, which bookend the exhibition, are chock-a-block with colour and form. Lots of reading required. Maybe it’s the time of year (or maybe it’s the time of man), but they both give off a definite Halloween vibe. They are also reminiscent of figures produced by Art Brute alumni Bill Traylor.
(Installation shot of back wall featuring “Tempest Rose” acrylic on linen, 60 by 59 inches, 2025, and view of “Subterranean Oracle”. Photo by Beth Stewart.)
The titles are clever. The aforementioned “Tempest Rose” could be the name of a busty heroine or the after-report on a blustery storm. The alliterative “Dusty Ditch at Dusk” and “Decadent Dusk” roll nicely off the tongue.
The lone sculpture, “Subterranean Oracle,” sits on a plinth and acts as both a diagonal director and a brazen barrier. It points and it halts. Here, the artist has used acrylic paint, beach sand, aquarium pebbles, and a pom-pom to costume a piece of driftwood. Transformed, the flotsam resembles a marine animal, or a submarine, or perhaps a missile. Viewers are left to wonder what message each might deliver.
(“Subterranean Oracle”, acrylic with beach sand, aquarium pebbles, pom-pom, on driftwood, with cedar base, 10 by 12 by 63 inches, 2022. Photo by Beth Stewart.)
Ramsay’s bio says he “creates his works by recycling the excess of everyday domestic objects” and calls what he does “subtle environmentalism” in that viewers are invited to look and to think. This is certainly apparent in a number of the pieces here.
“Maritime Minute” continues to Oct. 30 at Forest City Gallery, 1025 Elias St. For more information, visit https://www.forestcitygallery.com/

London rocker Rose Cora Perry returns home for a gig at the Palasad Socialbowl on October 24. The Beat Magazine 2025 spoke with Rose in between gigs during her international tour about her developmental years in London and her life as a musician on the road.
The Beat Magazine featured a cover story, Driven to Succeed, about Rose Cora Perry in its Fall 2012 issue.
At that time, author Bob Klanac described Rose as a “snarky punk-popper” who also modeled, wrote, acted, and hosted her own Rogers TV show entitled London Driven, a program that profiled the city’s young entrepreneurs. She was also working on an album.
A lot of water has run under the bridge since that story was published. These days, Rose fronts and tours internationally with her band, The Truth Untold.
The Beat Magazine 2025 caught up with Rose before her homecoming gig at London’s Palasad Socialbowl on Friday, October 24.
It would appear she’s still Driven to Succeed!
Q. It’s been a while since we last talked, years even. What have you been up to in the intervening years since then?
Only over a decade, but who’s counting?! Allow me to summarize. I hosted a couple of TV shows, acted in some short films, released a second solo album and toured as a singer/songwriter, wrote some columns that got published in multiple media outlets and achieved acclaim, emceed some amazing mental health awareness-raising events…and most recently I’m back where I belong: on stage fronting a rock’n’roll band called The Truth Untold.
Q. You certainly have been busy! Let our readers know a little bit about Rose Cora Perry, the musician and person. Where were you born? How old are you? How long have you lived in London?
I’m a born and raised Londoner – specifically a proud Byronite. And you should know it’s impolite to ever ask a woman her age.
Q. Was yours a musical home? Did you have any professional training, or are you self-taught? Could you tell me about your early musical endeavours as a child and teenager?
I love ‘em, but my parents have zero musical ability. They are both phenoms in their own right, however, as incredibly successful athletes and entrepreneurs.
My father is an insurance broker/financial advisor, and former World Powerlifting Champion, and my mother is a fitness trainer/guru and former Bodybuilder. I probably should’ve grown up to become an Olympian with their genetics, but alas became a depressed teenager and turned to rock to deal with my angst.
My late brother, however, was a tremendously talented natural musician who could pick up just about anything by ear – his presence growing up definitely influenced my musicality. This was supplemented by the fact that my parents, early on, recognized I liked being the centre of attention and on stage, and promptly enrolled me in classical vocal training, which I studied diligently for over a decade. When I was 15, I founded my first rock band.
Although I studied voice and theory through the Royal Conservatory, achieving my grade seven and grade two, respectively, I am an entirely self-taught guitarist, so much so that I actually invented my own tablature for the purposes of writing songs.
Q. Do you remember the moment when you decided that music was going to be a big part of your life? How long have you been playing music professionally? Do you consider yourself a full-time or part-time musician?
I don’t think I “decided” to “make” music a part of my life so much as I was “given” a gift that I don’t take for granted. There have been many times throughout my music career when I’ve felt defeated and beaten down, but then the muse once again strikes.
Any musician will tell you, you cannot simply “turn off” being a musician; it is a part of who you are intrinsically, a part of your identity.
Even if I wanted to give up touring, for example, songs just come to me – I have no control over that ability. Most of the time, I consider it a blessing…unless it’s 2:00 am and I’m really fucking tired. LOL. In those cases, it’s a bit of a curse.
However, I believe each of us is given very special gifts to share with the world, and the universe blessed me with the gift of music.
I consider myself a professional musician and gig in accordance with having a work/life balance. I have been fronting bands in a professional capacity since I was a teenager.
Q. Other than vocals, do you play any other instruments?
I do! I am well-known for my rhythm guitar prowess as a down-stroking queen. I also rock the lower clef on bass and have written/recorded bass on several albums.
Q. What have your musical influences been over the years? Songwriting-wise, I adore Alanis and Chris Cornell. My biggest influence as far as style is irrefutably Veruca Salt.
However, I have diverse tastes, and on any given day, you might catch me listening to big band/swing, metal, or pop – it just depends on my mood.
Q. Tell me about the various groups and musicians you have played with since you started playing professionally. Who are you currently playing with?
High school years: HER. Cofounded with the late Trish Doan on lead guitar. She later went on to rock bass as a beloved member of Kittie. I was the frontwoman, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist. To write and release an album with this band, I practiced six hours a day for six months on guitar, until my fingers bled, and I could competently sing and play at the same time. True story!
College years: Anti-Hero. We got signed to a major label, played some notable festivals in Canada and the US. Got to perform at Warped Tour the year that Joan Jett headlined and hang with her backstage. Swoon!
Again, I was the frontwoman, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist. Fun fact. While in the studio recording our hit single, “Unpretty”, I learned on the spot how to palm-mute; a technique which has become integral to my playing style.
Post-college: Released two solo albums in the singer/songwriter vein. Toured briefly, armed only with an acoustic guitar. HATED it. I decided to form a band again because I missed distortion and being obnoxious.
Present Day: The proud frontwoman, singer, songwriter, and rhythm guitarist for award-winning rock quartet, The Truth Untold.
(Pictured: The Truth Untold L-R, John-William Kostecki, Steven Skrtich, Rose Cora Perry, and Jessie Taynton)
Q. Tell me a little bit about any recordings you have made in your career.
HER: Straight from the Loft (album)
Anti-Hero: Unpretty (album)
Rose Cora Perry: Feisty (demo), Off Of the Pages (album), and Onto the Floor (album)
The Truth Untold: Other Side of the Story (EP) and One Thing Left to Say (EP)
The Truth Untold is currently in the studio recording a brand new EP entitled Phoenix Rising. We’re super stoked about the new music we’ve been working on and excited to have collaborated as a band on this project.
Listen to The Truth Untold’s new single, Excuses:
Q. What projects are you currently pursuing? Do you have any gigs coming up in the next month or two you would like our readers to know about?
We are winding down our summer tour, which started in May of this year, and among its highlights were Hills & Hollers Music Festival (Pennsylvania), Fun Fourth (North Carolina), Skatepark Fest (Ohio), headlining Strummerfest (Waterloo), and opening for Big Sugar at this year’s Taste of Edmonton (Alberta).
We’re super excited to be having a homecoming of sorts on Friday, October 24, at the Palasad Socialbowl. This will be the first London gig we’ve had in two years! The last time we played locally, we opened for The Killjoys at the same killer venue.
This time around, we’re sharing the bill with Howlin’ Circle and Baby’s First Pistol. All ages are welcome. It’s a $5 cover and doors open at 8:00 pm.
Q. In addition to your musical endeavours, are you involved with any other arts organizations or activities in the London community?
I’m part of several fun meetup groups that take part in everything from hiking to board games. You’ll also see me, of course, attending concerts supporting my fellow locals.
Q. What do you do for fun/leisure when you’re not performing and/or recording?
Apparently, attempt to be witty while answering interview questions. Just kidding! I love action movies, rollerblading, and drag racing my Camaro – not necessarily in that order.
Q. Is there anything else you think our readers should know about RCP the musician and RCP the individual?
If there is, it’s probably well-documented on my website www.rosecoraperry.com, but if anyone has a burning question for me, they are absolutely always welcome to reach out.
I love connecting with fellow musicians and fans, and I appreciate all of you wonderful people for reading this fun interview.
Q. Just one last question. Do you ever smile in your promo pics?
Why would I do something silly like that when I have such a glorious, sultry pout?
Sensibilité: C. P. E. Bach and Vivaldi in the Age of “Emotional Hyperreactivity” presented by Accademia de’ Dissonanti Elinor Frey, cello and direction Joseph Lanza, violin Jessy Dubé, violin Olivier Brault, viola Eliana Zimmerman, cello Joseph Phillips, contrabass Mélisande McNabney, harpsichord
The royal courts of mid-eighteenth-century Berlin were lively crossroads for some of the greatest musicians of the time. The three cello concertos of C. P. E. Bach were composed in the early 1750s, likely for performance at one of the private academies or music societies that were popular in Berlin at the time. These tempestuous and dramatic concertos, replete with fragmented and blustery exchanges, bear witness to Bach’s vigorous imagination. A generation earlier, Antonio Vivaldi wrote highly imaginative concertos for strings at the Le Pietà conservatory in Venice. These surprising works are full of in-jokes and amusements to entertain his talented young students. In Vivaldi and Bach’s music, emotions are fleeting and instantaneous, and above all, the beauty of melody is emphasized.
The Accademia de’ Dissonanti, led by renowned cellist Elinor Frey, is an ensemble dedicated to exploring Baroque and early Classical repertoire. Under Frey’s leadership, they will bring an expressive and historically informed approach to their performance of the music of Vivaldi and C.P.E. Bach.
PROGRAM Antonio Vivaldi (1678 – 1741) – Concerto for Strings in G Minor, RV 152 Allegro molto – Andante molto e sempre pianissimo tutti – Allegro molto J. S. Bach (1685 – 1750) – Harpsichord Toccata in D Major, BWV 912 C. P. E. Bach (1714 – 1788) – Cello Concerto in B-flat Major, Wq 171 Allegretto – Adagio (Cadenza) – Allegro assai Intermission Antonio Vivaldi – Concerto for Strings in D Minor, RV 127 Allegro – Largo – Allegro C. P. E. Bach – Cello Concerto in A Minor, Wq 170 Allegro assai (cadenza) – Andante (cadenza) – Allegro assai

While the main event for me was Brian Lambert’s “Songs for the Chameleon”, I happened on so much more during an evening out at the TAP Centre for Creativity.
“Songs for the Chameleon”, which was advertised as a symphony in 16 or 17 parts, featured Brian and Peter Lambert, A.K.A. “The Fabulous Lambert Bros.” Presented by Nach Dem Tode Studios, it offered a spectacle of storytelling and film set to live and recorded music.
The October 10 event was mesmerizing and deliciously surreal. It culminated in Brian Lambert’s stop-motion animation film, Forbidden Planet, about the Lambert Bros.’ great aunt, a bona fide Catholic nun, taking a stroll through hell.

The same night offered the opening reception for Oliver Page’s “Raw Release” and the opportunity to see “Upstairs Downstairs”, TAP’s 2025 resident artist exhibition featuring Eric Drummond, Jason Gillis, Craig Guthrie, Anne Hamilton, Ian Indiano, Cecil Klassen, and Jessica Kliza.
“Raw Release”, mounted in LAB-203, featured installation work with related ceramics and paintings. It offered a bold display that invited introspection. Of note are several eye-catching ceramic birds uncomfortably caught in yarn (or entrails).
“Upstairs Downstairs” graced the main gallery with work by the seven artists in a variety of media. Of note were works by Jason Gillis whose artist statement says his is exploring the brutality of human-animal relations, and Cecil Klassen, whose artist statement says he has been exploring the idea of symbiosis.
(Cecil Klassen’s “Everything Eats and is Eaten”, acrylic paint, drywall compound, MDF, 28 x 30 inches. Photo: Beth Stewart)
“Raw Release” runs to November 1; Upstairs Downstairs ended October 11; “Songs for the Chameleon” was but a two-night affair, but I suspect it will carry on, as it was too good not to.
The Root of Wisdom at Westland Gallery marries the work of two disparate yet ultimately complementary artists. Ottawa artist Clara Kim’s work with its frenetic brush work reveals recognizable forms, whereas Guelph artist Christopher Cape’s work is understated and ethereal. Together, they offer a respite from the day-to-day with a giant serving of the natural world.
According to Kim, the title of this joint exhibition is a nod to poet William Wordsworth. She is likely alluding to his piece “The Tables Turned” as, in it, he advises “Let Nature be your teacher/ She has a world of … Spontaneous wisdom”. Nature as teacher is certainly seen in the work of both artists.
Kim’s work with its colourful birds, bears and other beasts is contained in the front gallery. Most of the pieces are quite large. She depicts her animals in a style that she says is influenced by both ancient Korean arts and contemporary western sensibilities.
Through the ages, Korean art has been naturalistic, favouring the beauty of raw materials and natural patterns. Kim takes these traditional values and extends them with modern materials and approaches.
To this end, Kim employs a variety of tools and materials in her oil and acrylic paintings including knife scratching, and ink crayon, and pastel drawing. This is clearly seen in her abstract backgrounds and in what Westland Marketing Coordinator Anna Wilson calls the “evolution” of Kim’s mark making.
(Clara Kim’s oil and acrylic piece on canvas, “My World”. Image courtesy of Westland Gallery.)
In Kim’s “My World”, the bear stands firmly on calligraphic shapes and is backed by abstract forms. In her “Rainbow Raven #2”, colourful lines meander playfully as flecks of similar hues dance across the blackness of the bird’s plumage.
(Clara Kim’s oil and acrylic on canvas piece “Rainbow Raven #2” Image courtesy of Westland Gallery.)
Christopher Cape’s plein air landscapes occupy the upper gallery. Bold and mysterious, these works shun detail in favour of colour, reductionist form and evocative titles. They avoid obvious telling and beg for individual interpretation.
(Christopher Cape’s oil on cradled birch “Before the End”. Image courtesy of Westland Gallery.)
On the other hand, his “Take Flight”, with its stacked birds, bucks the non-representational trend while still embracing its pastel colouration and a limited depth of field.
(Christopher Cape’s oil and acrylic on cradled birch, “Take Flight”. Image courtesy of Westland Gallery.)
Titles stand out as integral to Cape’s art. His are evocative. To what end does “Before the End” refer? What happened “Moments Before”? What does “You Remember More than You Know” mean?
Happily, for the artists, there are lots of red dots to be seen; a few pieces have already gone to their forever homes.
