The Tragically Hip's music and lyrics have captured the hearts and minds of listeners across Canada and beyond, and the latter have now inspired a new art exhibition in the band's home province of Ontario.

Produced in partnership with LA-based Song-Word Art House, Echoes of the Flame: Art Inspired by the Lyrics of the Tragically Hip is an 18-piece art exhibition that brings together paintings, sculpture and mixed media artworks created by internationally acclaimed artists from Canada, Europe and the United States.

All 18 works are on display IRL at Bracebridge Hall through August 28, and can also be viewed and purchased online. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the original artwork will be donated to the Tsi Tyónnheht Onkwawén:na language and cultural centre in Tyendinaga, ON, which will be used to help build a school dedicated to teaching students their Indigenous language.

Artists featured in the exhibition include revered producer Daniel Lanois, prolific singer-songwriter Tom Wilson (Junkhouse, Lee Harvey Osmond, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings), Canadian artists Peter Horvath and Dina Roudman and more.

Below, (descending) you can find works from Roudman (inspired by "Tired as Fuck"), Kai McCall (inspired by "Ahead by a Century"), Lanois (inspired by "Not Necessary") and Wilson (inspired by "Now the Struggle Has a Name"), ahead of visiting the exhibit's website for a complete look at all 18 works.

The Tragically Hip shared new concert recording Live at the Roxy last month, and in April, announced a new career-spanning documentary set to premiere in 2024.
