In partnership with the Department of Education, through funding provided by Cultural Connections, The Rooms invited members of the arts community to explore the vaults and select items from the collections that resonated with them and their creative practice. The resulting videos are a fascinating look into our collections, the creative process and where inspiration comes from.
This week, join us for a conversation with Fashion Designer, Charlotte Reid and a screening of the short video that resulted from her collections interactions.
Cost: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms Members. Get your tickets online or by calling (709) 757-8090.
About the speaker:
For over 20 years, Designer Charlotte Reid has created couture garments by upcycling gently used sweaters for her fashion line CharlotteStreet. In her investigation of The Rooms collections she discovered artworks, artifacts, and oddities.
