Hi everyone - I just wanted to say thank you to those who have chosen to donate to AX this year. We weren't able to host our annual Kick AX Show fundraiser and membership drive this year due to the pandemic, with obvious ramifications. We see your generosity and are grateful for it. If you would like to renew your membership, purchase one for the first time, or simply make a donation to AX (all of these will net you a charitable tax receipt), please visit our website. Like m...any of our other offerings, we've migrated our donations and membership options online, and it's really easy to give: https://axartscentre.ca/supporting-ax/. Thanks, sincerely. Jane Simpson Executive and Artistic Director

Today is the deadline! Make sure to have your applications in!

AX is pleased to announce that yesterday we renovated our historic 12 Maple Avenue location, thanks to support from Farm Credit Canada's AgriSpirit Fund. This project allowed us to insulate the basement, which will reduce the building's heat loss and allow us to redirect the savings on heating to our arts and cultural programing for the Sussex region.

The AX Writing Group is now meeting on the third Wednesday of every month at the AX Gallery from 6:30 8:30 p.m. and encourages new members to join. The group is open to teens and adults, all writing genres (poetry, fiction, memoir), and all experience levels, to discuss and share writing in a welcoming environment. There’s no pressure to share your work, but if you have something you’ve been working on and would like to get some feedback, please bring it along. Don’t forget... your mask! This is a FREE event. If you would like to attend the writing group, contact [email protected].
