SUMMARY:"dreamscapes" by Kira Alexanian at Wyndham’s 3rd Floor Gallery
DESCRIPTION:dreamscapes in Wyndham’s 3rd Floor Gallery in Guelph (125 Wyndham Street North\, Guelph ON)\n\nThe show will be on from September 5th to 30th and the opening reception is Thursday\, September 7th from 6-8pm. Light refreshments will be served.\n\nAbout the Show:\nIt is no surprise that the human experience is too often cruel. Just when your footing is found and you begin to take root\, an unexpected shift sends you flailing and face down in the bristly undergrowth.  Dreams are a welcome escape. The boundless and vibrant scenes of the mind’s eye are reminders of the importance of make-believe. In dreamscapes\, I make tangible the glimmering illustrations of my own inner fantasies. These works are formulated without physical reference matter. Instead\, I tap into my brain’s archive of idealistic environments\, with movements of the paintbrush gently urging me far into their otherworldly delights. Fine details and animated lines further reflect the swirling possibilities of a daydream – a place free of the strain of waking life.

SUMMARY:GSA Open Life Drawing Night
DESCRIPTION:Mondays 6:30pm-9:00pm \nMonday September 11th \nNo instructor for this. \nThere is no better way to improve your drawing skills than working from a live nude model. In these cooperative and self-directed sessions\, the model will pose for different lengths of time\, starting with short warm-up gestures and building toward a sustained 1-hour pose for a more developed exercise. Note: there is no instructor for this class\, so attendees work at their own pace\, in the style\, size and medium of their choice.  Easels and drawing boards are provided\, and any ‘dry’ medium (graphite\, charcoal\, pastel etc) is welcome. \nWinter Footwear: Please no wet shoes/boots in the GSA. Kindly bring indoor footwear to change into. Masks are optional for this class.

SUMMARY:Guelph Culture Days: Creativity Is...
DESCRIPTION:Creativity has no borders. It is not restricted to a place or time. \nJoin artist Mary Kroetsch at Riverside Park’s big picnic shelter and engage in small talk by completing the sentence “Creativity is…” with a single word scribed in any fashion. Then using supplied tools\, make the word scream loudly with any kind of mark making. Consider beautiful words made ugly and ugly words made beautiful. \nThe aim of this activity is to offer a safe place and space for participants\, plus a little time\, to share something that a simple three word sentence can say\, empowering community to redefine a public space as a creative-led conversation forum. \nConversation not only conveys and sparks ideas but also enthusiasm and passion. Everyone’s experiences\, expertise\, and opinions are unique. Sharing them with others can foster a creative environment. And a creative environment is open and welcoming to many people coming together for a brief moment of understanding\, tolerance and unity. \nThe “Creativity Is” sentences will provide inspiration for a future installation at Guelph Civic Museum.
