The Studio is a place to meet innovative practicing artists from Kingston and across Canada, hear about their work and artistic practice and explore a creative project together.

Join artist Janice Reid for a talk and photography workshop that explores portraiture as a form of active memorial and a way to (re)imagine pasts and futures.

Working with a model and backdrop, participants will learn techniques in studio portraiture while reflecting on the layers of identity, memory, and place. Bring your phone or camera—some equipment will be available to borrow.

Janice Reid’s exhibition Fluorescent Beige is open at Agnes from 12 September–9 November 2025.

This program is presented and in partnership with the Yellow House Student Centre for Equity and Inclusion‘s Black at Queen’s speaker series, Black Light. The series aims to provide a platform for Black leaders inside and outside of the Queen’s community to affirm, inspire and uplift Black student communities.

This program is also presented with support from the Iva Speers Fund for Art Education.
