About
Join Thinking Rock Community Arts for three Participatory Community Mural Making sessions during the Culture Days Festival (September 24 to October 24, 2021)! All are welcome to attend these free art-making events that amplify messages of love and care with the community through a woven fence mural.
We'll be onsite with all the art materials needed on Thursdays (September 30th, October 7th & October 14th) between 2pm and 4:30pm.
Join us to add your own messages of love and care to the fence! After the mural comes down in October, we'll sew these messages together into a special, lasting artwork as part of our bigger community arts project, Social Fabric.
Want to take part but can't attend a session? Email us at [email protected] or call us at (705) 542-1100 for more ways to get involved!

Organizer
Thinking Rock Community Arts
Based in Thessalon, Algoma District, Northern Ontario, Thinking Rock creates art with and for the people living along the North Shore of Lake Huron, from Genaabaajing (Serpent River First Nation) to Baawating (Sault Ste. Marie) and all points in between. Through our free, multidisciplinary artistic programming we invite people of all Nations, ages, abilities, backgrounds and identities to join us in playing, making and dreaming about this special place we call home – as it was, as it is, and as it might be.
Our artistic team represents professional established and emerging rural artists of Indigenous, Settler and Newcomer descent who share a burning desire to explore how we can together begin to create spaces for dialogue and mutual understanding through multidisciplinary, multi-generational, cross-cultural community-engaged art projects.
This event is part of a hub:
