Saturday, September 21st is the last day before the Autumn Equinox. It’s also the date of our first ever outdoors Kids Art Show that we are calling Fall into Art. This year’s theme in honour of autumn? Things that Change… but we’re open to most anything.

We’re looking for all the creative kids that make up our neighbourhood to create pieces of art to show off for the neighbourhood. We’re going to set up outdoors at The Big Red Church (127 Cobourg Ave) from 4-7 PM. Not a kid, or don’t feel you have the ability to create art? Stop on by for some small snacks and to show our neighbourhood kids how great they are.
