FAQ

Do I need to sign up ahead of time?

As a drop-in program, you do not need to sign up. Come on in! If you would like to communicate with the organizer directly, please contact Farah at [email protected]

What is the space like?

You are encouraged to either come alone or with friends! Plug into your own music or listen to the chatter. Materials and refreshments are provided. As a drop-in, you can come for a little time or a long time.

Where is it happening?

The studio on the lower level. The gallery is free to visit. Walk in through the front doors, turn right and go down the stairs, turn right again once you see the door to the studio. Or, take the elevator near our gift shop to level 1.

Is the environment low-sensory friendly?

We tend to keep the lights dimmed but they are still on. We play music on a medium volume, however this can be turned off upon request. The noise level in the room is about medium. For a pause from the art-making, the exhibition spaces offer quiet seating.

Do I need to know how to do art ahead of time? Do I need to be an artist?

No! The art activities are beginner friendly. We offer all the necessary materials and instruction to complete a project. We also value abstract art, ugly art, and silly art. Feel free to try new things.

Presented by The Catherine and Maxwell Meighen Foundation.
