SUMMARY:I am a Handyman | Hal Fortin
DESCRIPTION:What utility can we find in vestiges of the past? This question shapes Hal Fortin’s interdisciplinary practice and its distinct sculptural language\, punctuated by humour\, dream logic\, and the rhythms of domestic labour. Working with second-hand materials that are both inherited and found\, Fortin moves fluidly between repurposing originals into sculptures and reproducing them through printmaking. Responding to surfaces marked by time and absence—stained\, mended\, cleaned\, sanded\, shedding\, scraped\, pierced\, and peeling—the exhibition repositions objects as sites where histories accumulate\, revealing both care and neglect. \nAn assemblage of unstable forms\, the would-be furnishings and tools that comprise I am a Handyman are as strange as they are familiar. While they relate to the body at the domestic scale\, they unsettle expectations of function\, deflating under the pressure of usefulness. In the process\, Fortin’s work considers our shared fate with objects and invites viewers to reflect on their relationships with everyday materials. \nClick here for more info.

SUMMARY:The Complete Works of William Shakespeare\, Guelph Little Theatre
DESCRIPTION:The cultural touchstone that is THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) was born when three inspired\, charismatic comics\, having honed their pass-the-hat act at Renaissance fairs\, premiered their preposterous masterwork at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It quickly became a worldwide phenomenon\, earning the title of London’s longest-running comedy after a decade at the Criterion Theatre. THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED) is one of the world’s most frequently produced plays and has been translated into several dozen languages. Featured are all 37 of Shakespeare’s plays\, meant to be performed in 97 minutes\, by three actors. Fast paced\, witty\, and physical\, it’s full of laughter for Shakespeare lovers and haters alike. The original version was followed by the 2010 REVISED version\, and this latest REVISED AGAIN version includes changes that celebrate and encourage greater diversity and inclusivity in today’s theater! \n

SUMMARY:The Weight of Stains\, The Wait of Time | Stephanie Fortin
DESCRIPTION:At the heart of Stephanie Fortin’s practice is an ethical inquiry: is it necessary—or responsible—to aestheticize waste in the context of global exploitation and climate change? Engaging with forms and sites at the fringes of development—from the trees of urban forests to the industrial ruins of salvage yards—she examines how their surfaces reveal the entanglement of human activity and ecological systems. During the summer of 2024\, Fortin developed her approach in situ at a wrecking yard\, “recovering” rusted car hoods through a distinctive transfer process. Working with discarded vehicles\, she placed reclaimed silk over the corroded metal\, applying acetic acid. As the reaction unfolded overnight\, rust—acting as both residue and pigment—was lifted onto the textile. \nAiming beyond documentation\, Fortin’s materials engage with time\, climate\, and intervention\, exposing the socio-political histories embedded within them. The resulting images bear traces of decay and transformation\, making visible the residues of extraction and consumption. Throughout her work\, materiality\, pigment\, and process converge to confront the affective potential of such material encounters\, drawing attention to the subconscious and visceral responses they evoke. In doing so\, she challenges viewers to reconsider how spaces and objects deemed obsolete continue to shape both the present and future. \nClick here for more info.

SUMMARY:The Knitting Pilgrim
DESCRIPTION:Actor\, writer and knitter Kirk Dunn will be presenting his multidisciplinary one-man show\, The Knitting Pilgrim\, featuring the Stitched Glass tapestries\, at Harcourt United Church on Friday\, March 21st\, 2025 at 7:30PM. \nThe show\, which theatre critic Lynn Slotkin called “a stunning piece of theatre… glorious and so moving\,” combines personal storytelling\, image projection and three huge knitted panels\, designed in the style of stained-glass windows\, that look at the commonalities and conflicts of the Abrahamic Faiths: Judaism\, Christianity\, and Islam. It recounts Kirk’s 15-year artistic and spiritual journey handknitting the ambitious project\, and looks at why the faiths struggle to get along today\, the meaning of art\, the hell of grant-writing and the power of love to overcome major obstacles (and minor mishaps). The show premiered at the Aga Khan Museum in 2019\, and has been performed to acclaim over 90 times in Canada\, Austria\, Germany\, and the United States. \nMore info here!

SUMMARY:ANIMA presents :  The Sign of Jonas; An Apocalypse Folktale by Luke Hathaway & Benton Roark
DESCRIPTION:ANIMA Early Music is thrilled to present The Sign of Jonas; An Apocalypse Folktale\, with texts by Luke Hathaway & music by Benton Roark. This (55-minute) work will be performed by Mother Country\, a beautiful roots music ensemble led by Benton Roark (voice\, banjo\, guitar & piano) and featuring Andrew Ivens (voice\, mandolin\, guitar\, piano & lap steel)\, Phil Albert (voice & bass) & Chris Hull (percussion). Mother Country will be joined by ANIMA’s artist co-directors\, Daniel Cabena (voice & fiddle) & Luke Hathaway (spoken word). \nHere are a few notes about this work from composer Benton Roark: \nSparse in construction\, timeless in imagery\, arcane in meaning\, and proto-mythical in characters and narrative\, The Sign of Jonas superimposes personal apocalypse on environmental and cultural collapse. It imagines a song cycle lost and found: a musical manuscript orphaned by the cataclysms of the 21st century\, and rewakened to ritual life far in the future. The fragmentary text speaks of travelling\, of death and rebirth\, of decay and regeneration; the music is a ritualized series of part songs\, responsorials\, chants\, chorales\, and incantations\, performed as a folk-music-pageant-mystery-play\, complete with communal singing and other forms of audience participation. When our lives end\, they continue in one another.

SUMMARY:Over-saturated
DESCRIPTION:New works from Paige Bromby at 3rd Floor Gallery. \nSee the exhibition from March 17-April 19.\nGallery Hours: Monday – Friday\, 3pm – 5pm & Saturday\, 12pm – 5pm \nPaige Bromby is an emerging artist and community facilitator based in Fergus Ontario\, on the traditional lands of the Petun\, Anishinaabeg\, Haudenosaunee\, Attiwonderonk\, and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. Working primarily in painting and drawing\, Bromby explores her relationship to the land in a digital age. \nBromby creates paintings that explore the recording\, translation and filtering of the landscape through both artist and technology. Working from her own photographs Bromby breaks down her images through digital manipulations and layered composition\, she pursues a translation with each individual brush stroke. Initially maintaining a strong connection to the screen\, eventually the image is abandoned and she begins relying on reveries and instinct to find the landscape in a middle ground between artist and technology.

SUMMARY:Intuitive Weaving
DESCRIPTION:During the darker winter days\, it’s nice to have a meditative art practice to turn to to help you relax and practice mindfulness. Weaving can have a tangible outcome (like a wall hanging or placemat)\, or be purely for relaxation and play – without the pressure of outcomes. Either way\, it becomes a transcript of your mood and imagination. \nIn this 2 hour class\, we will learn the basics of weaving with little to no financial investment. Using a cardboard loom that we make ourselves and the provided materials\, we will go over basic weaving techniques. \nWe will let the materials guide us and see where they take us. Our intuition will lead us while we slow down our thoughts and enjoy the creative process. No prior weaving experience necessary!

SUMMARY:Paula Nadelstern speaks at Royal City Quilters Guild
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Meeting\n\n\nSymmetry & Surprise: The Kaleidoscope as Design Inspiration\n\n\n\n\n\n\nKALEIDOSCOPE – the very word promises surprise and magic\, change and chance. Exploding with visual excitement\, a kaleidoscopic design organizes an abundance of color and shape into a complex\, coherent and unique whole. This slide lecture traces my evolving quilt series in which the multifaceted\, luminous and random nature of a kaleidoscope is explored on a quilt’s flat surface. \nPaula’s Bio\nPaula’s quilts have achieved international recognition for the innovative and complex designs inspired by the bilateral symmetry of kaleidoscopic images. Honored by inclusion in the Twentieth Century’s 100 Best American Quilts\, her designs have inspired products including the vast carpet in the Hilton Americas hotel in Houston\, TX and were showcased in the American Folk Art Museum’s first one person exhibition highlighting the work of a contemporary quilt artist (2009). \nPaula’s website: https://www.paulanadelstern.com/ \nVisit https://rcqg.square.site to purchase a $10 guest pass.
