With a new month comes a new slate of exhibits opening around the city. Since Toronto is so diverse, the city offers something different for everyone. Whether it\u2019s a collection of student work or an exhibit combining art and dance, there\u2019s a collection to suit the unique tastes of just about every art lover. With spring showers upon us, exhibits are a relaxing way to spend a rainy day, soak up the local culture in the 6ix and perhaps walk away with a new creative perspective. We’ve rounded up a few intriguing new exhibits to catch this month. <\/p>\n

This year, over 150 undergraduate students will display their works, which spans the mediums of Photography, Film, and Digital. The annual end-of-year exhibit puts a focus on photography students and aims to give students a chance to be recognized on a national and international scale. If you want to catch a lineup of upcoming digital and photographic artists from the True North and abroad, Maximum Exposure<\/em> may be a must-visit. <\/p>\n

\u201cLuminous\u201d Photo Art Show<\/em>, The Heliconian Club \u2013 May 4th<\/sup>-31st<\/sup> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Combining art and performance, Luminous<\/em> is a unique exhibit focusing on Ekphrasis. Ekphrasis is the response of other art forms, such as music and dance, to visual art such as photography.

Water: Sustaining Life<\/em>, Urban Gallery \u2013 May 4th<\/sup>-31st<\/sup> <\/strong><\/p>\n

With a focus on one of our world\u2019s most precious resources, this exhibit brings four unique perspectives to the importance of water in our life and world around us. Each artists brings their personal artistic touch to the exhibit. For example, photographer Karen Silver has a fascination with reflections and that is, quite literally, reflected in her take on water. Chris Hominuk, on the other hand, aims to capture the calmness of nature. It\u2019s an exhibit that proves something we often take for granted can be turned into art.  <\/p>\n
