SUMMARY:Guelph Arts Council Golden Anniversary Celebration
DESCRIPTION:RSVP at guelpharts.ca/gacgac \nWhat: The “GACGAC”. Guelph Arts Council Golden Anniversary Celebration. We turned 50. We want to celebrate with you! \nWhen: Saturday\, November 22\, 2025\, 7pm (programming to begin at 7:30pm) \nWhere: GAC’s new home in Old Quebec Street Shoppes. \nWhy should you come: GAC wouldn’t exist without an arts community to serve\, so we’d like to celebrate with the people who have inspired us for 50 years. There’s also a chance that GAC has supported you in your Guelph arts life\, whether that’s as an organization that got its start with support from GAC many years ago\, or as an individual who has shown in our gallery space\, received an award\, participated in our mentorship program or Art on the Street\, or any other things over the past 50 years. \nWe’re also unveiling the new “Sally Wismer Gallery” that night\, named after GAC’s longtime Executive Director\, volunteer and friend\, so maybe you’d like to come and celebrate that too. \nBasically\, if you love the arts\, you love our community\, and you love a chance to gather with friends in the sector\, this is the place for you. \nWe’re calling the event “folk formal”\, meaning all are welcome to come as formally (or informally) dressed as they’d like\, and the night’s program will feature dance\, spoken word/performance arts\, and musical performances\, video screenings\, as well as a chance for attendees to participate in a community craft project (beading) and a community literature project\, where they will be encouraged to write down their favourite Guelph arts memories from the past 50 years with the intention of publishing a keepsake book. \nAttendees may enjoy beverages from a cash bar and mocktail bar\, and snacks will be served. \nThere will be an in-person 50/50 raffle at the event\, and people may also make an optional donation when they RSVP to attend (guelpharts.ca/gacgac)\, or contribute to GAC’s ongoing donation appeal online by visiting guelpharts.ca/about/donate. \nWe’re so grateful to all of you who have shaped GAC over the past 50 years\, and who will continue to shape us through the next 50. Let’s celebrate together!

SUMMARY:Walking as Remapping: A Slow Walk to Nowhere
DESCRIPTION:In conjunction with the exhibition 155\,578\, join us for the first of two experimental walking events led by artist Dawn Matheson\, part of the Walking as Remapping series. A Slow Walk to Nowhere invites participants to gently rebel against the demands of speed\, productivity\, and destination by following internal cues. Grounded in the body and guided by intuition\, this simple creative walk offers a space to reflect on movement as an act of resistance—where the journey\, not the arrival\, becomes the point. Inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s Wanderlust\, Matheson sees walking as a deliberate and embodied act of remapping—subtle\, sensorial\, and deeply human. \nBeginning at the Art Gallery of Guelph\, each participant will receive a brief set of instructions and a loose hypothesis to explore. Then\, in solitude\, walkers or rollers will depart from the gallery using only their senses to guide them (especially their sense of wonder) in any direction for 20 minutes\, listening to their own rhythms and surroundings. They will return to AGG to share observations and reflections in a short group conversation. \nOpen to all. Dress for the weather\, bring a phone or timekeeping device if possible\, and come ready to wander!
