Kingston Pop Choir: "Lost Together" by Blue Rodeo, with Special Guest Artist, Andy Rush

Each month in 2026, Kingston Pop Choir is bringing together a room full of people to learn and sing a song — no auditions, no experience required, no long‑term commitment. Each session features a local musical artist who leads the group in an arrangement of an original song or a beloved cover. These are one‑day choirs: playful, welcoming gatherings where folks come together to sing, connect, and create something bigger than themselves.

Memory Vessel-Paper Pulp Sculpture Workshop

In this 3-hour hands-on workshop, you will create a sculptural "memory vessel" using recycled egg cartons transformed into handmade paper pulp. These materials — once used to carry fragments of everyday life — are broken down and rebuilt into a new form. In the process, they lose their original structure but retain traces of collective experience. You will shape this material into a container and embed your own memories within it-creating an object an object that exists between personal story and shared origin.

All core materials are provided, including:

Textile Portraits with Tett Artist-in-Residence Jarena Lee

Join Tett Artist-in-Residence Jarena Lee for a playful, hands-on workshop exploring portrait-making through textiles and fabric.

In this session, participants will create their own unique textile portraits using a mix of materials, including scrap fabrics brought from home and materials provided in the workshop. Participants are also invited to take part in a fabric swap — exchanging textures, colours, and materials with others to bring new stories and layers into their work.
