VIBE Arts returns for the 2024 Biennial season for fun, creative and interactive programming for intergenerational learners, families and caregivers in response to the exhibition artists and artworks at TBA’s 32 Lisgar Street location. VIBE artists will deliver free, drop-in, public art-making programs to visitors throughout our VIBE Family Days. All programs will be led by an Arts Educator to facilitate a platform to engage in creativity and express shared lived experiences.

VIBE will be present at our opening day festivities on September 21 at Lisgar Park (32 Lisgar Street), and every other Sunday at the same location (weather permitting) ongoing to November 3rd. In inclement weather, Family Days will occur indoors at 32 Lisgar Street. To view these additional Programs, please visit the What’s On page or “Related Programming” below.

This program is drop-in between 11:00am and 4:00pm.

This program is presented in partnership with VIBE Arts.
