Coffee & Culture

Please join us for a trailer screening and discussion about BURNOUT, a new immersive installation by Georgia Dawkin and Drew Pardy. Using textiles, video, and performance, these artists examine racing culture and terminology. Their playful critique explores how burnout and unrecognized labour are common experiences for many women and creative workers.

This is a free program but a ticket is required. Get your ticket online or by calling 709-757-8090. Admission to the galleries is included.

Today's Events & Programs

1:30 pm - 2:30 pm

Winter may be here, but there’s no need to stay home!

Join us at The Rooms to exercise and socialize during this colder and drearier time of year. While strolling throughout the building and enjoying both the exhibitions and the views, participants will focus on a different spotlight item from our collection each week. After our stroll, staff will lead a brief discussion on the weekly spotlight, and then everyone is encouraged to stay and socialize with friends new and old.

No registration is needed. Included with the cost of admission ($7.80 plus HST for seniors), free for members.
