Family Sundays: Fall 2025 & Winter 2026

Time: 1:00-2:00 pm or 2:30-3:30 pm

Cost: $5 or FREE for Members (*no HST)

Families of all ages are invited to make creative projects together as a family!  During these short workshops, local artists will present you a variety of different and exciting mediums.  The projects are designed for parents and caregivers to work in a collaborative way with their kids to make a piece of art – created together – to take home!  Some projects will use special materials that are new to you and other projects will inspire new ways to use familiar materials that you may find in your cupboard or recycling bin at home.  Join us for Sunday afternoons full of creative exploration!

Sheresa Mcintyre

Working predominantly with Analog Collage, artist, photographer, poet and curator Sheresha Mcintyre has been able to express her take on many themes in each of her art disciplines. Themes such as fantasy presented in colourful conceptual abstract forms. Mcintyre takes influences from plants, nature, culture and her own imagination to show how they mimic our “reality”. 

In (2020) Mcintyre was Awarded the #RisingYouth Community Service grant presented to her by TakingITGloabal in Toronto. She was able to curate her own art exhibit called Loose Ends which was held at The Art Gallery of Ontario (The AGO) located in Toronto. Her exhibit featured both her artwork and the artwork of other local Toronto visual artists.  

Mcintyre aims to create an experience of oneness between her art and those that observe her work. This is in the hope that her art will inspire her observers to tap into the brightest, most exciting parts of themselves.

Marjorie Dale

Marjorie is a passionate multidisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, mixed media, and digital art. She has a deep appreciation for creative expression in all its forms and thrives on exploring different techniques and pushing artistic boundaries. Her art takes inspiration from her personal interests, experiences, and, well, kind of everything and everyone. Every cool new tidbit she learns, every inspiring story she reads, and everywhere she goes adds depth and dimension to her work.

Beyond Marjorie’s personal practice, she is deeply committed to nurturing creativity in others, especially young artists. She has worked with children in camps, school programs, and community art initiatives and believes that every child has a unique artistic voice waiting to find its expression. Through patient guidance and an encouraging approach, she likes to help students gain confidence, develop new skills, and express themselves freely.

Whether working on a large-scale sculpture, an intimate canvas, or guiding a group of young creators, Marjorie hopes to bring passion, experience, and a dedication to making art accessible and meaningful for all.
