SUMMARY:Meet the artists of "Sticks and Stones" Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Olivia Mae Sinclair & Alek Bélanger\nAn Exhibition of Story\, Resilience & Renewal\nAdmission is Free \nYou’re invited to join us for the opening reception of a compelling new exhibition featuring the works of two incredible artists: Olivia Mae Sinclair and Alek Bélanger. \nThis dynamic exhibition brings together Sinclair’s richly layered textiles\, emotive paintings\, and evocative photography with Belanger’s powerful visual reclamation—where poetic affirmations are embedded on pages pulled from gay conversion therapy books\, alongside large-scale photographic works that challenge and inspire. \n \nWe first encountered Olivia Mae Sinclair and Alek Bélanger at the Artist Project in Toronto\, where each artist was featured individually. Their work—intimate\, courageous\, and deeply human—resonated with us. We knew immediately we wanted to bring them together for a group show here at The Arts Centre. They enthusiastically accepted the invitation\, eager to share their unique voices and creative practices with our community. \nCurated in collaboration with Sylvia Galbraith\, this exhibition invites reflection on transformation\, identity\, and the power of artistic expression to reframe narratives and spark dialogue. \nJoin us in the gallery for refreshments\, engaging conversation\, and the opportunity to meet both artists in person. Be among the first to experience this thoughtful and vibrant presentation of work—and (hopefully!) leave seeing the world in a slightly new way. \nWe can’t wait to welcome you.

SUMMARY:BREAKING BOUNDARIES: USING LIMITATIONS TO EXPAND CREATIVITY IN PAINTING WITH AHMRI VANDEBORNE
DESCRIPTION:Find out how creative you can be when you set your own rules while painting! What happens when you only use two colours? Or when you have to use a tiny paint brush on a large canvas? Or when you use dice to choose what type of lines you paint and what colours you use? \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn about the famous conceptual artist\, Sol Lewitt\, whose wall drawings have been recreated by all types of people based on his instructions. Each time the works are recreated\, whether by the artist himself or other artists\, volunteers\, or assistants\, they are a unique iteration – proving that following a set of guidelines can burst creative boundaries. \n \nUsing warm-up exercises and learning about basic painting techniques\, participants will be inspired to create their own set of rules or guidelines to help inspire a new painting to take home. \nThough not mandatory\, if participants are interested in trying their hand at manipulating an image through painting\, they are encouraged to bring their own image with them (printed\, or on a phone) to work from.  \nArtist Ahmri Vandeborne will guide artists in a playful evening workshop setting limitations on tools and processes to help expand your creativity. Ahmri will offer examples of different types of processes that could be used to set limitations\, artists will then choose “how” they would like to paint and create an image based on the guidelines they’ve set for themselves.          \nLet’s gather to make something unique and think outside the box! \nNo experience necessary.  \nPlease note\, there is a $10 kits fee payable in cash to the instructor at the start of class. All materials included in the kit fee. \nContact us for more info!

This performance is presented in partnership with SV Law.   \n \n \nAbout Jiggity James \nIn many ways\, Jiggity James is the quintessential small-town Canadian\, but inside beats the heart of a journeyman and storyteller. Hailing from Elora\, Ontario\, his affinity for music began when he was a young boy\, but it wasn’t until he started traveling at the age of 18 that he found his true voice.  \nHe draws inspiration from his experiences on the road\, the blend of jazz\, country\, ragtime and blues\, creating a whole that is entirely his own. Music will always feel like home to Jiggity James\, whether he’s road-tripping across Canada or travelling around Europe. His recent releases including “Tango to Calamity\,” “Gringo\,” and “That Stare” are available wherever good music is streamed. Find out more \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\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!
