Jardin au Ermine is an art collective of 8 students who share a drive for their own futures as fine artists. They create their own work under a title provided by the curator and exhibit as a group. Artists in the collective extend themselves into zine creation, social media management and research.

Look at @jardinauermine on instagram to keep up to date with what we’ve got going on! We have a house show coming up April 18/19/20!

Here at Jardin au Ermine, 'The Seasonal Lag' is the title of our debut exhibition. We have been delving into the themes of seasons, solstices, of change, dissociations and dreams in the shades of Pierre Bonnard.

This year, the summer solstice will fall on the 21st of June- the longest window of light in the year, the longest period of day. Back in December, the winter solstice was marked on the 21st- that long winter hibernation wrapping up the world in night. However, these days are not the respective hottest and coldest days of the year, as one might expect- it's not until weeks later that we are plunged into extraordinary frost or singed under the sun. This period itself is The Seasonal Lag.
