Have you been to see Julie Moon’s work in the exhibition Blister in the Sun at Cooper Cole in Toronto? One of the city’s most vibrant contemporary art spaces, Cooper Cole is the perfect setting to experience Julie’s powerful ceramic work up close.

🌟 This fall, FUSION is launching a Professional Mentorship Program with Julie—an amazing opportunity for emerging and mid-career ceramic artists to explore new directions, receive personalized feedback, and connect with a creative community. The program culminates in a group exhibition at The Lost & Found in Toronto, with professional photography of the final work included.

Spots are limited! FUSION is also offering one bursary spot based on financial need. Find more info and apply at the link in our bio. The deadline to apply is September 9, 2025.

Posted with regram • @coopercole 🌻🌺🥀 Julie Moon’s ceramic flower sculptures twist and sprawl beyond traditional form. Her blooms feel almost sentient – colourful, expressive, and unapologetically psychedelic. They’re ornamental but unruly, soft but defiant. In her hands, the flower becomes a kind of emotional amplifier, alive with joy, anxiety, and desire.

On view now in a two-person exhibition with Daniel Rios Rodriguez through August 30. 💫

The gallery is open Saturdays from 12-5pm.
