đź“Ť Akimblog Places + Spaces: Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery, Sarnia đź“Ť
The Canadian art landscape is ever-changing. Our Akimblog editorial series Places + Spaces keeps you informed of established and new exhibition spaces throughout the country.
This month, we hear from Sonya Blazek, Curator/Supervisor of the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery in Sarnia, Ontario.
Located in the downtown core of Sarnia, just steps away from the St. Clair River, the Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery is a free public art gallery with more than 180 members, over 1,400 works of Canadian art in the permanent collection, and an incredible team of staff and volunteers whose dedication to delivering positive gallery experiences deeply enriches the community.

Science and art come together with this early photo printing process! Experiment with the sun to create striking blue and white prints to take home.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on May 2 at JNAAG for an inspiring artist talk with Diana Thorneycroft and Reva Stone.
Diana and Reva shared the stories behind their exhibition "Together Apart | Under One Roof," how their practices connect, what they’re creating now, and how the late Aganetha Dyck continues to inspire their work.
We’re so grateful to the artists for their generosity and to everyone who came out and asked thoughtful questions.

They'll learn to paint in the Ojibwe Woodland style, an art form known for its bright colours and bold designs.
John will show them how to get started using stencils, but will also teach them to be more confident in freehanding their own unique designs.
This workshop is a great way to learn new painting skills and express yourself. All materials are included, so just come ready to have a blast and create a one-of-a-kind piece of art!
