I’m always dreaming up new block ideas and just this week I thought I’d try an idea for a Sunflower. It turned out even better than in my head\, and I just used scraps!! There’s a Sunflower Festival this time of year at one of the farms near my house. I’ve driven by the sign these last few weekends and that’s when this idea was born… sunflowers…hmmm (taps chin)\, I wonder how I could make that into a block. \nJoin Krista and RCQG to make one or more blocks in your favourite colours for a table topper\, table runner\, wall hanging or quilt. \nInstructor Bio\nKrista Moser is the creative force and inspiration behind Krista Moser\, The Quilted Life.

SUMMARY:Opportunity Knocks: Re-Imagining your Arts Career
DESCRIPTION:November 6th 6:30-9:00  \nArt Gallery of Guelph\, 358 Gordon St\, Guelph\, ON N1G 1Y1 \nFree \nClick here to RSVP for this free event! \nGuelph Arts Council is pleased to collaborate with the University of Guelph’s School of Fine Art and Music and the Art Gallery of Guelph in presenting Opportunity Knocks: Re-imagining your Arts Career. How can arts students and emerging artists reimagine the careers they could pursue? What are the emergent\, entrepreneurial\, or unexpected career paths that arts grads have taken? A group of diverse arts trail blazers will share stories and lessons learned. Students\, artists and creatives of all disciplines\, ages and experience levels are welcome.  The Panel Discussion will run from 6:30pm-8:00pm followed by time to connect and enjoy refreshments. \n​ \nMeet the panelists: \nPaige Bromby is a painter and cultural administrator based in Fergus\, Ontario\, She holds a Bachelors of Arts in Studio Art from the University of Guelph (2020). \nWorking primarily in painting\, Paige explores her relationship to natural spaces in a digital age. She is interested in how familial spaces appear through her own interactions within them\, through a digital archive and as recorded and memorialized in paint. The many lives of a landscape – how those lives and interactions change through the seasons of nature and life.  \n​ \nShe maintains her painting practice while continuing her work in community arts\, facilitating a local critique night\, working for various arts/culture organizations and co-founding an artist mentorship program for artists with developmental disabilities. \n​ \nPatrick Cruz is an artist\, educator\, and albularyo who considers the role of spirituality\, improvisation\, intuition\, and play as emancipatory tools to reify embedded colonial frameworks and ideologies in art making. Cruz employs meditation\, divination\, and hypnosis as research methodologies to exhume and retrieve hidden knowledge. His works are informed by the intersections of clown philosophy\, magic\, and the occult\, and its syncretic manifestations and relationship in contemporary life. Most recently\, Cruz has been making works using material retrieved from past-life regressions to navigate and side-step cultural and ancestral identity. \nIn 2021\, he received the prestigious Thirteen Artist Award from the Cultural Center of the Philippines and won the national title for the 17th RBC Canadian Painting Competition in 2015. He is an Assistant Professor in Studio Art at the University of Toronto Scarborough Campus and the Daniels Faculty. He is the founder and co-director of the Kamias Triennial\, co-curator of Ben Flores Fan Club Collective with Christian Vistan\, collaborator at Boring Earth with Laila Fox\, and one of the 19 members of the artist-run collective the Plumb. \n​ \n​Daphne Zoe Dahlia / DAPH (She/Her) has been performing\, composing\, recording\, producing\, and mentoring artists for 20+ years. In 2017\, she founded Copper Sound\, a boutique recording studio in Guelph\, ON\, Canada. It serves as home base for her collaborations with artists locally and around the world. Daph’s work also includes musical directing for improv comedy\, audio mixing for commercials\, composing for film\, voice over work\, album art\, photography\, and website design. Daphne has been making new queer centred electronic music under the artist name DAPH. Her new direction combines deep vocals on top of hardware synths and samplers\, bringing together elements of synth pop\, house\, hip hop\, and darkwave.

SUMMARY:Curatorial Tour: Soft Internet Theory with Tristan Sauer
DESCRIPTION:Join the 2025 recipient of the Middlebrook Prize for Young Canadian Curators\, Tristan Sauer\, for a walkthrough of his exhibition Soft Internet Theory. \nConfronting the threats that artificial intelligence and techno-capitalism pose to cyberspace\, the exhibition calls attention back to the handmade and the human heartbeat that once gave the internet its revolutionary potential. Through practices that span net art\, interactive sculpture\, installation\, video\, and textile\, the exhibition revises narratives of fear\, artifice\, and anxiety by humanizing technology\, offering viewers an alternative look into the digital future. \nFree event – all are welcome. \nImage details: Installation view of Soft Internet Theory at the Art Gallery of Guelph\, October 2025.

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.

Let’s celebrate together!
