World Refugee Day 2026

Join KEYS in celebrating World Refugee Day at the Tett Centre!

World Refugee Day is an international day designated by the United Nations to honour refugees around the globe. It is an opportunity to recognize the strength, resilience, contributions and achievements of refugees and newcomers in our community. It is also a chance to learn more about the realities of forced migration and to reflect on how we can continue building a welcoming and inclusive Kingston for everyone.

Join them to: 

In Memory of Rose [Exhibition]

This exhibition is a retrospective of the work of Rose Stewart, artist, teacher, and friend. The work on display includes over 50 landscapes painted by Rose “en plein air”. The result of solitary days of observation spent in the countryside north of Kingston, outside of Halifax, in Vermont and in Italy, these small paintings were part of Rose’s private practice. They have never been publicly exhibited until now. 

Studio Exhibition & Artist Talk with Tett Artist-in-Residence Jarena Lee

Join Tett Artist-in-Residence Jarena Lee for a studio exhibition and artist talk sharing work developed during her residency at the Tett Centre.

Drop in to explore her ongoing practice in textiles and mixed media in an informal studio setting, and stay for an artist talk where Jarena will discuss her process, inspirations, and residency experience, followed by a Q&A.

This is a chance to engage directly with the artist and experience behind-the-scenes studio practice.

Your Mark, Echoing From Within [Artmaking Workshop]

The core of this workshop is a simple but powerful idea: that creativity lives in all of us, and sometimes all it needs is the right spark to awaken it.

Using accessible techniques and one of the world's most ancient art forms as your guide, you'll be invited to reach inward and bring something personal to the surface — no rules, no right or wrong, just your own mark on the paper.
