Open Studio Drop-in Sessions
May 9th - October 31st, 2024
Every Thursday 11 am - 4pm
Weekly drop-in sessions for art enthusiasts of all types. Hosted by local artists, Tacha Reed, Liz Robinson and Cara Sawka, who bring a blend of experience between them, which includes painting, textile arts, ceramics and music. Celebrating our 10th year we are extending our Open Studio hours from the 2024 season.
What to expect - Mornings tend to start with a focus on handheld crafts, visual arts and lively conversation, which often rolls over to a jam session, rounding out the afternoon. Join us with your latest project or favourite instrument and let the mighty Avon River be your inspiration. The unique vantage point of the museum, perched on the edge of the Avon River is a sight to be seen!
