The Rosedale Centre Art Gallery
On the main floor of The Rosedale Centre, you’ll find The Rosedale Centre Art Gallery, a bright and welcoming space curated by members of the church’s Art Committee. For many years, Rosedale has upheld a proud tradition of celebrating creativity by showcasing the work of both emerging and established local artists, offering a place where the community can gather, reflect, and be inspired.
The Rosedale Centre Art Gallery is more than just an exhibition space — it is a hub for culture and conversation. Rotating shows feature a wide variety of styles and mediums, from contemporary paintings and photography to sculpture and mixed media. Every visit brings something new, inviting you to discover fresh perspectives and connect with the creative spirit of Toronto’s artists.
All works are available for purchase directly through the artist, with a small commission donated back to the church to support our community programs and ongoing outreach.

Current Artist at Rosedale:
Vernon Deagle
Artist Bio
Vernon’s paintings draw inspiration from the natural world and the landscapes around us. Wildlife, forests, lakeshores, and coastal and rural settings appear throughout the collection, offering viewers a variety of places and moments to explore. Some scenes feel lively and colourful; others have the stillness of a quiet day outdoors.
Working in acrylic, watercolour, and oil, Vernon uses colour, shape, and detail to give each scene its own character. Bright skies, reflective water, trees, fields, and familiar buildings create a sense of place, while the range of subjects and styles keeps the collection varied and engaging.
Together, these paintings invite visitors to take their time and enjoy looking closely. A landscape may bring to mind a place they know, while another may offer the pleasure of discovering somewhere new. In the calm setting of the show, Vernon’s collection creates space to pause, notice the beauty around us, and share in the simple enjoyment of art.
