We invite you to grab an art or craft project and participate online. Don't miss Tett Tuesdays! Share what you have been working on, see what others are creating, watch live demonstrations, and participate in a variety of art-focused group discussions. Through peer mentorship, we ask questions like: What inspires your art? How do I photograph my artwork? What supplies do you recommend? Where should I shop for materials? How do I apply for a show? Where can I showcase my artwork locally? Does anyone want to collaborate on a project? How do I develop a body of artwork? Can you recommend an upcoming art class? Join the community group and get involved!

Woven Together at the Tett Centre will now be a reality thanks to a partnership with the Community Foundation for Kingston & Area. We are pleased to have received a $5,500 grant that will directly help us to create a unique opportunity in our arts-enriched centre in coordination with two well-respected community organizations: The Kingston Handloom Weavers and Spinners, one of our resident organizations and Ontario’s oldest and reputable fibre arts guilds, and Kingston’s New Sisters of Canada group, a group of Kingston Newcomer women. Together with these organizations, we will present a cross-cultural and inter-generational exploration of fibre arts in the new year.
