SUMMARY:PYROGRAPHY. IGNITING THE LIGHT. MINDFULNESS\, CREATIVITY\, AND INTENTION SETTING
DESCRIPTION:MEDITATIVE FLOW TWILIGHT WORKSHOP  \nWOOD BURNING WITH HEATHER MARTIN  \nJoin us for the September Solstice for a calming and creative evening in alignment with the New Moon and a partial solar eclipse. This is a meaningful time to pause\, reflect\, and set intentions for the season ahead. \nPyrography artist Heather Martin will lead a guided mindfulness practice to help center ourselves and connect inward. Using woodburning tools and intuitive art\, you’ll create a personal piece that reflects your current focus\, goals\, or feelings. The evening will close by taking time to set clear\, thoughtful intentions\, supported by the energy of the new moon and the unique symbolism of the eclipse. \n \nNo artistic experience is necessary—this is about the process\, not the product. Come with curiosity and leave with a sense of direction—and something you made with your own hands. \nPlease note\, there is a $20 kit fee\, payable in cash to the instructor at the start of class.

SUMMARY:'Open Sky Live' - Live at the Arts Centre - featuring James Gray
DESCRIPTION:Join us for James Gray live on the MacDonald Pavilion Stage at the Arts Centre! This performance is presented in partnership with Granite Homes. \nJames Gray is a contemporary version of an old-school traveling folk singer. In the past decade\, Gray has toured Canada\, Europe and Australia\, seeing the world and sharing his beloved songs along the way. Galvanized by the idea to speak to the human condition through the creation and delivery of song\, Gray draws from his deep love of legendary songwriters such as John Prine\, Townes Van Zandt\, Gillian Welch\, to guide him. \n \nThe ‘Open Sky’ series is presented in partnership with our friends at Tribute Homes\, Sorbara Group of Companies and Storybrook Homes. \nAbout the Artist \nA unique finger style guitarist\, with a vocal that is hauntingly beautiful\, Gray\, often accompanied by a rather droll\, humorous stage patter\, immerses himself in each and every song with a soulfulness and attack that is infectious and disarming. With a broad grin and good natured chuckle\, Gray\nwill often smile into the microphone and state matter of factly that he wants you to remember who he is. \nGray’s third album is entitled “New Friends That Talk Like Old Friends”. This collection of songs born in His tiny Muskoka cabin is a reflection of the incredible people and experiences that James has come across in his travels. \nNotably\, James has been a musical guest at TED Talks held on the west coast of Canada. Music from his three albums receives regular airplay on CBC radio programs including Fresh Air with Nana Aba Duncan and Ontario Morning with Wei Chen. He has garnered extensive airplay regionally and throughout Canada.  Visit his website here. \n  \n✨ Bonus: Our camper bar will be open at each event\, serving up refreshing drinks to keep the good vibes flowing! 🍺 \nSee you under the open sky! \n\n\n🎶 ‘Open Sky’ Concert Series Highlights: \n\n\nWhen: Every other Thursday from 6-9 PM\, all summer long \n\n\nWhere: MacDonald Pavilion Stage in the yard at the Elora Centre for the Arts \n\n\nCost: FREE (donations appreciated!).

SUMMARY:Opening Reception - meet Eileen MacArthur as she launches 'Eden'
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the gallery as we officially reveal Eileen MacArthur’s new exhibition\, ‘Eden’.  These works invite us to see parts of nature—like flowers and trees—as if they have human qualities. By doing this\, we can think about how people relate to each other and the world around them. Nature isn’t shown as separate or alone\, but as part of a bigger community. The natural elements become a way to talk not just about individual experiences\, but also about the dynamics of groups and how we all connect in society. \nRefreshments will be served\, admission is free.  Drop in and say hello\, mingle and help uplift the arts\, and our community of artists!
