SUMMARY:Connected Threads Artists Present: Following The Marks
DESCRIPTION:Through simple movement\, playful mark making\, and guided prompts\, you’ll discover how one line can lead to the next\, creating unexpected patterns and connections along the way. Inspired by the themes of the Connected Threads exhibition\, this hands-on experience encourages curiosity\, imagination\, and creative exploration while reflecting on how small moments – and small marks – can grow into something meaningful. The intention isn’t to create a finished artwork\, but to slow down\, notice the creative process\, and explore new possibilities with curious eyes. Everyone will come away with small postcard size abstract pieces of art. No art experience is needed – just come ready to explore\, create\, and enjoy the journey together. \n20 Tickets Maximum

SUMMARY:Connected Threads Art Reception
DESCRIPTION:We invite you for an evening reception with the artists in our current group show!  \nMeet our August Artists-in-Residence Connected Threads for a free night of art conversations from 6pm to 7:30pm on August 20th. \nNo admission or purhcase necessary\, light refreshments and tea provided\, drop-ins welcome. \nAt its core\, Connected Threads uses the thread as a metaphor for the physical and emotional lines connecting us all. This exhibition brings together three semi-abstract artists — Astrid Fox\, Shafina Eddicott and Pam Zenkawich — who explore the boundaries of colour\, composition and texture. Though they work in different mediums and styles\, their artworks speak to one another\, creating a visual tapestry woven from shared stories of memory\, emotion\, and human connection.
