The tradition of the FIREWORKS exhibitions started 40 years ago. Held every two years, FIREWORKS has come to symbolize the best in contemporary clay and glass by FUSION members and is displayed in galleries throughout Ontario.

​FUSION is pleased to welcome Owen Johnson and Marc Egan as this year’s jurors.

For the first time, visual artists are invited to participate in the Neilson Park Creative Centre exhibition from February 27 – March 19, 2023. Visual art pieces for the Neilson Park Creative Centre will be curated by a FUSION committee led by Adeline La.
