Fatima Garzan

Picture
​​Fatima Garzan is an Iranian-born Canadian artist, and she immigrated to Canada in 1992. Fatima has a BA in economics and studied fine arts at the University of Waterloo, where she received a BA honours degree in 2005. Her art practice spans across painting, printmaking, and installations. Her experimentation with an array of materials, from paper to plastic, led her work to different and unexpected concepts. Her work evokes cultural traditions and the power of reusing and recycling materials in an increasingly congested world. She has exhibited in Canada, France, and Iran. She was the artist-in-residence at Salt Spring Island, BC, in 2017; L'AiR Arts residency in Paris, France, in October 2018; and Atelier Circulaire in Montreal, QC, 2019. Her works are in the Canada Council Art Bank, the City of Kitchener, and recently her work was acquired by CAMH (the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto) in the category of standalone work competition. Please check out her website for more information.

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. 

This project is supported by the Ontario Arts Council and the London Arts Council through the City of London's Community Arts Investment Program.
