SUMMARY:En Plein Air Painting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Carl White for an en plein air workshop in the historic gardens of the Lougheed House! This is a workshop for intermediate and advanced artists to explore painting as a way of looking through time to see the world anew. Working directly from the landscape\, participants will respond to shifting light\, atmosphere\, and both the historic and modern surroundings as a living dialogue between past and present. This workshop invites a deeper way of seeing — one that uncovers beauty\, memory\, and transformation within the familiar. This event is rain or shine – in event of rain\, the workshop will take place within Lougheed House\, exploring the outdoors through the lens of a window frame. \nPlease note: This workshop is intended for intermediate and advanced artists with their own artistic practice and is not a beginner workshop. It is a facilitated experience to explore the House and gardens in a modern context. All participants are required to bring their own art supplies (easels will be provided) and are responsible for their own cleanup. Artists who registered for the June 28 workshop may not also register for the August 15 workshop. \nAbout Carl White:Carl White is a Canadian visual artist whose paintings merge classical imagery with graffiti\, calligraphy\, and contemporary visual culture. Referencing Renaissance and Baroque traditions while embracing urban mark-making and material experimentation\, his work explores the tension between permanence and collapse\, beauty and disruption\, history and the present moment.

SUMMARY:PlayLab: Kitchen Party
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate National Acadian Day in PlayLab with the energy of a kitchen party. \nThis all-ages\, hands-on drop-in invites visitors to explore Acadian music traditions through fiddle-inspired sounds\, group music-making\, and the rhythmic pulse of spoon playing. \nDrop in and take part in lively\, collaborative music-making that shows how rhythm\, movement\, and song bring people together. \nPlayLab is a hands-on sound playground where young visitors can discover how music works. With interactive stations that feature strings\, wind\, percussion\, and electronic instruments\, kids experiment with the building blocks of sound—pitch\, volume\, timbre\, and vibration. Pluck a string\, strike a drum\, blow into an organ\, or shape sound on a synth to hear how instruments create their unique voices. Designed for curiosity and creativity\, PlayLab encourages visitors to listen closely\, explore freely\, and learn how musicians turn sound into music. \nPlayLab is made possible with support from the Alberta Museums Association and the Radomski Foundation.

SUMMARY:Kids Studio Imagining Spaces: Mini Installations & Creative Photography
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the immersive artwork of Zadie Xa\, participants will discover how artists transform entire spaces into artworks that can shape how we feel and experience our surroundings. \nAfter exploring the exhibition together\, children will design\, build and photograph their own miniature installations inside a diorama. They will consider atmosphere\, scale\, materials\, colour\, and light\, similar to the installation: Zadie Xa with Benito Mayor Vallejo | Moonlit Confessions Across Deep Sea Echoes: Your Ancestors Are Whales\, and Earth Remembers Everything. \nKids Studio is a series of hands-on workshops designed for children aged 7 to 12 where they can independently explore their creativity through artistic experimentation and imaginative play. Each workshop introduces conceptual and creative ways of thinking encouraging them to have fun creating with each other! \nRegistration and parent/guardian consent are essential. Parents/guardians are not required to be present for the duration of the program\, however if your child requires assistance with the following skills\, we ask that a parent/guardian accompanies them: cutting\, hot glue tools\, other fine motor skills.
