Social Fabric Drop-In Community Arts Programming

Access

About

Join a diverse team of makers, artists and creative folks as we explore together the textile traditions of Algoma; co-create collaborative art projects (including some big community quilts and social fabrics); and consider themes of mending and interweaving in art, life and community! No experience is needed, and everyone is welcome.

This event complements Culture Days and Fall Rendezvous programming at the Ermatinger-Clergue National Historic Site. For more details, visit their online events page, call (705) 759-5443, or email [email protected]

Thinking Rock Community Arts

Based in Thessalon, Algoma District, Northern Ontario, we co-create art with and for the people living along the North Shore of Lake Huron, from Genaabaajing (Serpent River First Nation) to Baawaating (Sault Ste. Marie) and all points in between. We’re a team of artists, cultural workers and community members of Indigenous, Newcomer and settler descent who co-create spaces for dialogue, mutual understanding and artful social change through multidisciplinary, multi-generational, cross-cultural community arts projects.

Through our year-round, free and inclusive 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 yet be. We learn more every day about what that invitation, the spaces we hold together, and the ways we show up for each other can and must look like, and we bring this growing understanding to our work.
