Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Block Party last week! Our community came out for our 50th anniversary celebration which featured activities in Brock park, demos in our Studios, and local treats. Our Gallery was busy with activity as we marked the opening of our Spring Exhibitions-Leila Fatemi's "A Vessel to Bend Water" and "A Curve, Not A Line". Everyone who came by for the celebration truly digs culture, and we hope you enjoy your garden seeds, donated by OSC Seeds. A special thank you to our generous sponsors SB Partners and Cintas Canada for making this event possible! (fb)
