His most recent solo exhibition, Amongst the Yawns & Dust, at the Art Gallery of Northumberland in the Spring of 2023 featured a variety of works from the Yawnder series completed since 2016 when Dart first featured an overview in his Greetings From Yawnder! exhibition at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery.
He is represented by Galerie Youn (Montreal), Gallery Jones (Vancouver), and Slate Gallery (Regina). Dart has had solo exhibitions in galleries across Canada, and his work has been featured in group exhibitions and art fairs in North America and Europe.
