About
Building a collection of individualized tiles which will be pulled together to build a spot to sit, be still, and a place to come together.
Take part in Together we tile, a collaborative art project where Union Gallery will be handing out small ceramic tiles to each participant. Through the virtual workshop, we aim to connect you with the community and act as a place to hold conversations centered around dreams, exploration, and re-imagining our tomorrow. Spend time and get creative with how you decide to personalize your tile piece.
We will then be collecting all completed tile pieces to construct a chair-like structure, where all these gathered feelings, ideas, and pieces of artwork can come together and be enjoyed by the public.

Union Gallery
UNION GALLERY is a not-for-profit, student-centred public contemporary art gallery at Queen's University. UG is a space centred in community and conversation, driven by play, curiosity, curation and research-creation. We are the primary public gallery at Queen's dedicated to showcasing the range and excellence of students' artistic and curatorial practices. UG also supports local (based in Katarokwi-Kingston), regional and national professional artists to foster a diverse network of artistic production, presentation and interpretation. We’re committed to supporting creative growth through merging technical and critical understandings of the arts, as well as a deeper understanding of how art can reflect the most important issues of our time. UG is centrally located on the first floor of Stauffer Library on Queen's main campus. All are welcome and admission is always free.
