The Embassy Cultural House is pleased to announce its first open-call invitation to participate in a virtual group exhibition: Hiding in Plain Sight.

This exhibition is inspired by the book "Hiding in Plain Sight" published in 2020 by St. Louis-based journalist Sarah Kendzior.  In her book she describes US President Trump's administration as "
a transnational crime syndicate masquerading as a government."  There are many other governments in the world at this time that also fit this description. They are all connected.

OUR STORY
​
Artists Jamelie Hassan and Ron Benner and jazz musician Eric Stach founded the Embassy Cultural House (1983-1990) located in the restaurant portion of the Embassy Hotel at 732 Dundas Street in East London. Other former members of the board were: Debrann Eastabrook, Henry Eastabrook, Sharron Forrest, Wyn Geleynse, Janice Gurney, Jean Hay (1929 - 2008), Doug Mitchell, Kim Moodie, Gerard Pas, Peter Rist, Wanda Sawicki, Jean Spence and Jennie White.

In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Embassy Cultural House was re-envisioned as a virtual artist-run space and website. 

​London, Ontario is on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lenape, Attawandaron and Huron-Wendat peoples, at the forks of Deshkan Ziibi (Antler River), an area subject to the Dish with One Spoon Wampum and other treaties.

Thank you to our supporters
