Mark Your calendar: 2482 Maynard Open House

If you haven’t visited us in a while, the upcoming 2482 Maynard Street Open House is a great time to come and see what we are up to!

You will find Ursula Johnson’s solo exhibition Emmitukwemk: The Visit on view at the Blue Building Gallery. At Wonder’neath, you may discover a cozy reading nook featuring a sneak peek of The Sketchbook Project. And of course, many artists in the building will be present in their studios to chat about their latest works. We can't wait to connect with all of you amidst the smell of hot cider. Mark your calendar for December 10th, 2-5pm, and we hope to see you there!

Give the Gift of Wonder: Support Open Studio

Support Open Studio!

This fall, we are dedicating fundraising efforts towards sustaining our anchor program, Open Studio. A welcoming space that provides materials, healthy snacks, artist support and opportunities for creativity, dialogue, and skill sharing. 

Since 2014, we have welcomed over 21,000 participants and shared over 11,100 custom-made art kits with individuals and organizations. In order to sustain our programming efforts, we are asking for your support for Open Studio. 92% of your donation goes directly to programming, and $35 would subsidize a senior to attend one session of Open Studio with materials and refreshments. We partner with Canada Help to receive one-time and monthly donations. Click on the button below to donate and learn more about the impact of your donation here.

The world is going through a complex and challenging time, and our local communities are no exception. We understand that not everyone can contribute financially. We hope that you will help us spread the word about Open Studio and share our campaign efforts on social media and in your communities.
