BAO December Open Studio+, Town Hall & Holiday Social

because it's more than just an open studio. In addition to creating a space for community to gather, share work and support each other, we will also be hosting skill-building workshops during each Open Studio+.

• A space to foster creativity and encourage experimentation in an atmosphere of exchange, conversation, and support.
• A place to encounter fellow creatives and learn about their work and practices.
• A chance to find future collaborators or reconnect with old friends.
• A studio to work on your own in-progress artworks and be inspired by someone else's project.
• An opportunity to learn new skills and explore different art practices and tools.

Most importantly, Open Studio+ is FREE to attend and open to all skill levels.

As always, you can bring your own works in progress to Open Studio+. You can use our art supplies and materials to start a new project, take pictures in our Photography Studio, find inspiration in our Community Library, record beats in our Recording Studio and so much more. Drop-in any time between noon and eight p.m. and make the most of this artistic environment.

As the end of the year nears, please join us at our final Town Hall of 2025, where we will review this year's events, workshops and programs and preview our plans for 2026.

There will also be updates from the Culture Services team at the City of Brampton and an open Q&A, because we want to hear your suggestions for 2026.

Following the Town Hall, stick around for our Holiday Social. There will be festive music, snacks, and a holiday card making activity while you mingle with fellow artists and creative community members.
