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. 

Jumblies Theatre is visiting Wonder'neath!

Grounds for Goodness IS COMING TO WONDER’NEATH!

Jumblies Theatre is bringing Grounds for Goodness to Wonder’neath!!

Grounds for Goodness is an interactive arts project, created and guided by Ruth Howard (longtime Wonder’neath mentor). The project explores and expresses stories of 'social goodness' - times that people behave in good ways towards others in times of difficulty or emergency. 

The Halifax iteration, which will take place from November 1-9th, 2023, will include storytelling, drawing, writing, music and playing with small objects, which will also connect with the Sketch Book Project. 

How can you be involved?

We would love you to take part through our Open Studio sessions, and also by signing up to join a performance group, involving small object play, and commitment to one or two rehearsals and one or two performance evenings. No experience required.

Tentative Workshop schedule:

November 2th: Artist Talk (public session)

November 3th & 4th: Jumblies at Open Studio (public session)

November 5th: Jumblies workshop/rehearsals with volunteer performers

November 7th : Jumblies prep/rehearsal 1-4 pm and 5-8 with volunteer performers
