SUMMARY:How We Used To Feel\, Jen Prior
DESCRIPTION:In How We Used To Feel\, Jen Prior builds a room at the threshold between memory and longing; painting the body as shelter\, nature as witness\, and light as the oldest form of belonging. \nLarge immersive works rendered in luminous washes and primitive mark\, her figures do not perform emotion\, they pull it out from the viewer. \nThese are feelings that are waiting to be remembered. \nThe opening reception is April 8th from 6-9pm\, and the exhibition will be up for display from April 8th to the end of May. Opening night will be an immersive experience for the community with sounds\, feelings\, sculptural works and large paintings you can immerse yourself into.

SUMMARY:Standing Wave — An installation by Jenn E. Norton
DESCRIPTION:Standing Wave is a multichannel installation that draws upon natural phenomena\, such as cloud formations\, paired with pareidolia and surrealist imagery to explore emotional and mental states of being. The title derives from the phenomenon of clouds forming above mountains\, known as standing wave clouds or lenticular clouds\, which indicate that rain is imminent. Observers often mistake these clouds for UFOs because of their smooth\, saucer-like shapes. A standing wave is a vibrational pattern that occurs when two waves oscillate at the same frequency and amplitude but move in opposite directions\, interfering with one another. At certain points\, the amplitude is zero; at others\, it reaches its maximum. Norton employs this occurrence as a metaphor in a long-form animation in which clouds transform and morph through representations of places\, people\, animals\, and objects\, as a rolling thought process of hypnagogic visions.

Due to the pandemic\nseverely limiting city-wide programs and support for families\, as well as income streams for\nmany caregivers\, Chalmers has seen numbers of first-time food pantry users increase\nexponentially. This was showcased as 1 in 7 residents in Guelph reported living in a food\ninsecure household\, with 1 in 6 reported being severely food insecure (2021). This has been\nperpetuated by increasing costs at the grocery stores on food\, hygiene products\, and basic\nhousehold necessities. At Chalmers\, we pride ourselves in offering no-judgement services to\nGuelph patrons\, allowing users to choose from a variety of food options that are culturally-\ndiverse\, and adhere to those with dietary restrictions. We have a mandate to provide healthy\,\nfresh food to our guests\, propelled by philosophies of inclusiveness and community. We\nwelcome all\, and every attempt is made to create a warm\, caring environment to those who\nattend. \nYou’re invited to bring an optional food item contribution to CCSC's food pantry. A list of\nrequested items can be found below.\nOPTIONAL PANTRY DONATION – REQUESTED ITEMS\n• Cans of “no salt added” tomatoes\n• Low sodium pasta sauce\n• Cans of kidney beans\, black beans and chick peas\n• Cans of beans in sauce\n• Canned vegetables: corn\, mixed vegetables\, peas\, green beans\n• Rice\n• Pasta\, elbow and spaghetti preferred\n• High fibre breakfast cereal\n• Rolled oats and plain instant oatmeal\n• Powdered milk\n• Canned meat: chicken\, tuna\n• Tea

SUMMARY:Film Screening: “CELESTIAL QUEER”
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Ed Video for a screening of Celestial Queer: The Life\, Work\, and Wonder of James MacSwain a documentary feature film. There will be a Q&A with the film’s directors Eryn Forster and Sue Johnson after the screening. \nPWYC entry ($5.00 suggested) — NOTAFLOF \nSynopsis: Equal parts art project\, history lesson\, and whimsy\, Celestial Queer: The Life\, Work\, and Wonder of James MacSwain offers a portrait of an artist who defied convention for a life lived on his own terms. Directors Eryn Foster and Sue Johnson spent a decade checking in with the witty\, erudite MacSwain as he moved about his life in north end Halifax\, returned to his tiny rural hometown of Amherst\, Nova Scotia—where he grew up\, unable to pass for straight\, in the 1950s—and discussed his lifelong\, wildly inventive art practice. The playful\, queer work is cut out\, glued together\, and sung into intricate collages\, analogue films combining handmade animation with documentary and provocative exhibitions. Johnson and Foster\, who knew MacSwain for decades until his death in 2025\, combine myriad formats in the production (including 16mm\, Super-8\, and digital video) for an intimate patchwork celebration reflective of their subject’s own body of work. Celestial Queer now stands as an elegy for a man who was defiantly original\, internationally renowned\, and an icon of artistic integrity. James MacSwain lived how he wanted—unabashed\, uncompromising\, and unforgettable.

SUMMARY:Guelph Musicfest presents Schmaltz & Pepper
DESCRIPTION:Schmaltz & Pepper is a uniquely virtuosic and entertaining chamber ensemble performing original music inspired by Klezmer\, Yiddish Swing\, Jazz and Classical music. This groundbreaking ensemble features the extraordinary talents of Eric Abramovitz\, the principal clarinetist of the Toronto Symphony and the Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and arranger\, Drew Jurecka\, virtuosic violinist/vocalist/composer\, Rebekah Wolkstein\, founder/leader of the acclaimed Payadora Ensemble\, Juno-nominated bassist\, Michael Herring and Juno-award winning pianist\, Jeremy Ledbetter. \nThis ensemble is redefining the traditional boundaries of Yiddish music\, blending classical mastery with innovative compositions and soulful arrangements.

Their debut performance was a live-to-air broadcast with a studio audience at Zoomer Hall in Toronto for Classical 96.3FM in May 2024. Since then\, they have sold out shows at Ashkenaz\, the Toronto Summer Music Festival\, and Jewish Music Week in Toronto\, and are headlining the ‘Put a Yid on it’ festival in Winnipeg.

SUMMARY:Intuitive Creativity: Connecting to Your Inner Language Workshop

Please register here. \nTickets are free for GAC Members\, there is a $5 fee for non-members. \nIn this workshop\, we will explore intuitive creativity by practicing how to connect inward and access your inner language. \nA big part of working with both intuition and creativity is learning to get into flow with the inner signals that can guide your unique expression. We’ll explore specific approaches to doing this by noticing subtle inner signals and responding to them without overthinking. Through a series of guided exercises\, we’ll practice connecting to the next step that feels right and gently bypassing the thinking mind by relaxing into the body\, and allowing more to emerge. \nThis is a practice in noticing and responding\, tuning into subtle cues and letting your intuition move through your creative process. \nArtists of all disciplines are welcome. Whether you work with writing\, visual art\, music\, movement\, or another medium\, this session will support your creative practice. \nWe will experiment with both writing and drawing during the workshop. \n\nGada Jane is a writer\, performer\, and psychic-intuitive. She served as the first Artistic Associate at Pat the Dog Theatre Centre and has collaborated on interdisciplinary film and theatre projects across Canada. She is the founder of The Predella Studio and previously ran the Predella Project\, a local writing group supporting creative development. She is currently touring her one-woman show “Becoming Psychic” to Festivals in the U.S. and Canada. \nAlongside her artistic practice\, Gada works as a psychic-intuitive\, helping individuals understand their inner worlds and creative processes. Her work explores the intersection of intuition and artistry\, supporting people in tuning into their own inner language and allowing their creativity to flow with greater clarity and confidence. \n\n\nhttps://www.gadajaneintuitive.com \nInstagram: @gadajaneintuitive \nTikTok @gadajane \nhttps://enchantedlivingcircle.substack.com/ – Intuitive + Psychic Practice \nhttps://gadajane.substack.com – Creative + Cultural Subjects

This screening is presented in collaboration with the Art Gallery of Guelph. \nPWYC entry ($5.00 suggested) — NOTAFLOF \nEndless Cookie is an imaginatively animated family portrait that explores the contrasting upbringings between two half-brothers\, one white and one Indigenous\, in a humorous oral history. As they reminisce into the recording microphone\, the threads of their stories are punctuated\, interrupted\, or else hijacked by charismatic (and humorously animated) members of the extended family\, including nine kids and ten dogs\, who add to the narrative by indulging in their own reveries. The result is an exploration of identity\, race\, and Indigenous resistance to colonization within a First Nations community; an impressionistic and often surreal depiction of family; and a lived-in documentary of the creative process. \nThere will be a Q&A with the directors Seth and Peter Scriver following the screening.
