Doors Open 2024

May 4, 2024, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

In 1987, architect Arthur Erikson was commissioned to design an addition to the RMG’s existing 1969 building. Erikson’s interest in the play of light and shadow is evident in the RMG’s large skylight and upper level curved windows. Join us at 2PM for a tour of the RMG building.

Let’s celebrate Arthur Erikson’s love of light and shadow! From 10:30AM to 12:30PM, join us for a hands-on art making activity encourage participants to use their imagination to create beautiful lighted sculptures.

Doors Open Oshawa is a free, annual event that provides an opportunity to explore Oshawa’s diverse heritage and cultural sites. Spend a day discovering local history first-hand and celebrating our community’s heritage.
