This Halloween, the J.K. Tett Centre will transform for Tett After Dark: Enchanted Forest Fundraiser, an immersive 19+ fundraising event taking place on Saturday, October 31, 2026, from 8PM until late.
Guests are invited to arrive in costume and wander through a living, spellbound forest as the historic waterfront arts centre comes alive with immersive art, interactive experiences, live entertainment, mysterious characters, themed food and drinks, and creative programming presented by the artists and organizations who call the Tett Centre home.
Throughout the evening, attendees will be encouraged to explore the building at their own pace, discovering experiences hidden throughout its galleries, studios, and gathering spaces. Programming will include exhibitions, live painting, interactive activities, swordfighting demonstrations and workshops, tarot readings, a themed photo experience, DJ and dancing, a costume contest, and a building-wide live mystery.
A silent auction featuring donations from local artists and businesses will also help raise funds during the evening.
More than a Halloween celebration, Tett After Dark is a fundraiser supporting the Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning's year-round accessible arts programming, artist residencies, exhibitions, and community initiatives. Over 200 guests are expected to attend.
