This exhibition celebrates the rich tradition of Latter-day Saint art in Canada, featuring nearly 100 original works by both living and deceased Canadian artists. The showcase highlights the diverse expressions of faith and creativity that have emerged within the community.
The title, “Great Treasures of Gold,” is inspired by a conversation between early pioneer Charles Card and Samuel Smith, the brother of Joseph Smith, Jr. Smith recalled a prophecy made in an 1843 priesthood meeting within the Nauvoo Temple, in which it was stated that “[Canada] would never persecute the Saints as a nation. She would gather up great treasures of gold and yet we should seek refuge in her dominion.”
The phrase “Great Treasures of Gold” symbolizes not only the material wealth Canada was prophesied to gather, but also the spiritual and cultural richness accumulated over more than a century of Latter-day Saint presence in the country. This exhibition pays tribute to the enduring artistic legacy that has flourished within this land of refuge.
