After a spring of drought and early summer floods Summer seems to have swept in with Stage 3 of reopening!  And we’re feeling it here at Artpace! I initially thought this would be a shorter email but we just have so many fun things in the works right now!

Last month our new Co-Directors Dylan Dammermann and Lucas Cabral stepped into their new roles in the gallery along with Kate Simola our Young Canada Works Programming Assistant. 

July has been a flurry of activity looking ahead with excitement to what the rest of 2021 will bring to Artspace and Peterborough at large.  
 

Here’s some things we have in the works for the rest of the summer:

Water Stories 
A Free Film Screening August 6th

Artspace is excited to present ReFrame Film Festival’s Water Stories short
films program on the big screen for FREE!
The evening of August 6th, 2021 we will be safely gathering to watch 6
beautiful stories about connection: to water, to land, to history and how
we honour those connections to take care of the earth and each other. Stay
tuned for updates on time and location!

For more information and a map to the event space please visit our website:

This free film screening is put on by Artspace partnering with ReFrame Film Festival, First Friday Ptbo, GreenUp, and the Water Program.

Artspace Back to School Garage Sale!

At the end of august we will be hosting an old fashioned parking lot garage sale!  

With re-opening on the horizon we are starting (mostly) fresh and have lots of furniture, art supplies and homewares that we will be selling. 

Artspace themed door prizes! 

Pay what you can and haggling are encouraged! 

 

If you are interested in volunteering please send us an email dylan@artspace-arc.org

Yoga in the Gallery

Starting in September we will be offering a Yoga in the Gallery program! More information to come, but you can expect early morning yoga classes surrounded by art and lead by local studios; with special Artspace Member Pricing!

Carrie Allison: Connections of Gestures
Look forward to our next physical exhibition this September!

Carrie Allison: Connections of Gestures

connections of gestures explores beaded animation in video, still life, and beaded works. Carrie Allison was inspired by beadwork held in museums across Turtle Island, how these pieces hold ancestors, tell stories and connect us through time and space. Through combining animation and beadwork the artist seeks to visually narrate the practice of beading and bring viewers closer to an understanding of beadwork’s animacy.

As the summer progresses we are also starting to dream about possible membership programming this fall! With new exhibits comes the opportunity to gather and celebrate as well as to reflect and meditate. 

Are there any community programming or member exclusive events you would like to see over the next year? We are open to suggestions and keeping our fingers crossed that public gatherings will be able to continue through the fall and winter. 

Thank you for your continued support.
