Creative Movement

We invite folks 16+ to join us for this free and accessible program. Located in Agnes’s galleries, these mindful movement sessions respond to works in Agnes’s exhibitions and inspire individuals to move creatively in ways that make them feel good. Sign up >

There is an opportunity for improvisation and collaboration at each session. This program is facilitated by Amy Booth, a registered Physiotherapist and dance educator.

Paste-Ups for Social Change with Abby Nowakowski

Paste-ups for Social Change is a hands-on, activist-rooted workshop led by artist Abby Nowakowski. As seen in we are magic: a love letter to our tattoos, paste-up is the process of adhering paper onto a surface using starches and water, commonly used to seamlessly put up prints, bookbinding, and of course—troublemaking.

All materials are included in the workshop fee. A limited number of bursaries are available. Register ($25) >

This one’s coming to an end:
Wee Bit Off Centre Open House

Wee Bit Off Centre is hosting an open house on 26–28 March, (during gallery hours) to share what we’ve been up to over three months of working in, and out of, Etherington House. Different co-directors are at the house each day to welcome participants and chat with curious visitors.

As a send-off to our time at Agnes, Wee Bit Off Centre is throwing a Closing Karaoke Party on 28 March, 5:30–8:30 pm. Hope to see you there.
