SUMMARY:Intuitive Doodling
DESCRIPTION:In this 2-hour guided workshop\, participants will explore intuitive doodling/art on watercolour paper\, using flowing ink lines and watercolour washes. Through gentle instruction and reflective pauses\, you’ll create organic forms that mirror the mind’s natural pattern-making\, supporting integration between cognitive awareness and emotional experience. No art experience is needed—only curiosity and openness. This practice is meditative rather than technical: repetitive line\, colour blending\, and mindful attention invite calm\, reduce mental noise\, and help surface and transform emotions in a safe\, nonverbal way. The lines may be tiny\, but the room to breathe enormous! You will leave with a finished artwork and a simple process you can return to for self-regulation and creative renewal.   This workshop is one in a series of 8 workshops developed by some of the artists from the new Tiny Ass Art Gallery in St. Jacobs. Details to Note: This workshop takes place at Neruda Arts in St. Jacobs. You will be sent an email 1 week prior to your workshop to share directions and parking instructions.Neruda Arts is wheelchair accessible (via elevator).This workshop is for people 12 years +.There are a maximum of 15 spaces in this workshop.All supplies are included in your workshop fee.

SUMMARY:Culture Talks: Art\, Architecture\, the Public Realm and Social Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Culture Talks continues conversations between artists\, architects\, designers\, city builders and urbanists\, shining a light on exemplary buildings\, public art. Brook McIlroy Architects approach design and planning from a broad\, holistic perspective. As architects\, landscape architects\, planners\, and urban designers it was the only way they felt they could address the complexity of communities\, cities and the diverse\, interconnected natural and human-made ecologies that we inhabit. Working in the medium of the built and natural environments they create environments where people can prosper and thrive while protecting the land\, water\, air and the other species that make life possible. Their work is driven by a uniquely Canadian design ethos derived from research into place\, diverse cultures\, Indigenous world views\, sustainability\, natural materials\, and the application of new technologies. They hold offices in Toronto\, Thunder Bay and Winnipeg.
