2023-04-30 13:00 - 16:00 | Online, 205 – 6660 Kennedy Road, Mississauga, L5T 2M9

Participants will start by working with the seed beads to create a simple floral design on the toe piece of the moccasin. After completing the beading, they will then assemble the moccasins for display, creating a unique art piece.

Brushes with the Ethereal. Opening Event
2023-05-05 18:00 - 21:00 | crescent hill gallery, 10-2575 Dundas Street West, Mississauga, L5K2M6
Join us on Friday, May 5th, from 6-9 pm for the opening event of Brushes with the Ethereal. This Collector’s Preview event allows those in attendance a first look at our Spring collection of original artworks before it goes live online. Many of the participating artists will be present to speak about their new pieces. We will also introduce the work of our two newest artists: Max Wright and Judy Willemsma, both local to Mississauga. There will be a live painting demonstration, and light refreshments will be served.
Curatorial Statement:
This exhibition of original works by local artists, titled Brushes with the Ethereal, aims to draw a connection between the process of creating a work of art and the experience of interpreting the finished piece. Connecting the threads of maker and viewer, this show brings together art enthusiasts, art collectors, and artists alike to consider what the function of art truly is. Artwork is created with intention and consideration by the artist, curated by an admirer, and then becomes a vessel filled with meaning that reflects the viewer’s experiences. The lifespan of an artwork connects stories and emotions in a way that nothing else can, reflecting the nature of individuals and their interconnectivity. It allows for a chance to explore new perspectives and diverse ideas. Art is something to be shared and echoes the zeitgeist of our time.
The term “ethereal” refers to something “extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world.” The creation of unique and original artwork facilitates an ethereal connection between individuals, something that is important to advocate for, especially in a world so filled with adversity and polarity.

Cris Derksen Quartet
2023-06-16 19:30 - 21:30 | Living Arts Centre, 4141 Living Arts Drive, Mississauga, ON, L5B 4B8, Canada
Celebrate Pride and National Indigenous Peoples Day with a riveting performance by The Cris Derksen Quartet!
The Internationally acclaimed ensemble includes the talents of Juno-nominated Cree cellist Cris Derksen, artist and storyteller from the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach Marie-Celine Charron Einish, Tuscarora/Gaelic Singer Rebecca Benson, and professional percussion and jazz drumming musician Stefan Schneider.

In a world where almost everything — people, music, cultures — gets labelled and slotted into simple categories, Cris Derksen represents a challenge. Originally from Northern Alberta she comes from a line of chiefs from NorthTall Cree Reserve on her father’s side and a line of strong Mennonite homesteaders on her mother’s. Derksen braids the traditional and contemporary, weaving her classical background and her Indigenous ancestry together with new school electronics to create genredefying music.

Quartet Bios
Marie-Celine Charron Einish is an Indigiqueer dancer, artist and storyteller from the Naskapi Nation of Kawawachikamach, who showcases powwow dancing, alongside many world-class artists.
Stefan Schneider studied classical percussion and jazz drumming and has performed for the last twenty-two years. Stefan is an original member of the Toronto Based 12-piece chamber ensemble, The Queer Songbook Orchestra.
Rebecca Benson is a Tuscaroran and Scottish Two Spirit Iroqueer, a classically trained singer with a fierce love of pop music, who began drumming ten years ago. They wear many different hats as a singer, writer, labor organizer and partner.

Brown People Can't Be Ballerinas
2023-08-22 18:00 - 2023-08-27 23:30 | Sampradaya Dance Creations, 3250 Ridgeway Dr., Mississauga, L5L 5Y6
The premiere of “Brown People Can’t Be Ballerinas” is this August at the Mississauga Multilingual Fringe Festival.
What if you knew you couldn’t be something, but you tried anyways? Like, really tried? This coming of age story is based on the real lived experience of a brown girl who scrambled her way into the professional ballet world.
In this solo performance, Oshi is both victim and perpetrator in her struggle to prove that Brown people can be ballerinas. Her bewildering encounters with racism and the expectations of her Brown body are as wild and unapologetic as New York City itself.
Tickets are now on sale: $12 (+$2 processing fee)
Performances: Tues August 22, 8:45pm | Thurs August 24, 7pm | Friday August 25, 10:30pm | Sunday August 27, 6pm
