Community Arts Guild

Yesterday was Guest Curator Miranda Bouchard's last day at our Cedar Ridge May gallery. She gave a thoughtful Artist Talk and Tour about the Social Fabric pieces she has contributed to the show from Thinking Rock Community Arts, sharing details and insights on the interconnected and distinctive elements of each, and we could stitch while we looked and listened!

We were sad to say goodbye to Miranda, but the exhibition continues until May 27th.

Today was the first day of installation for our annual Cedar Ridge evolving gallery, with Guest Curator Miranda Bouchard, from Thinking Rock Community Arts laying out and starting to hang her wonderful array of quilts from Thinking Rock's multi-year Social Fabric Project.

Join us at the Opening Reception is this Wednesday - May 13th - from 6-8pm. Cedar Ridge Creative Centre, 225 Confederation Drive.
