About this event

  • 2 hours

BAO’s Newcomer Creative Exchange program has been developed to create a space for Brampton-based newcomer creatives, artists and cultural workers to gather, network, create, and learn together in a welcoming and supportive environment.

For our second Newcomer Creative Exchange session, we will be taking a field trip to the Brampton Library, Mount Pleasant Village branch.

We will get a tour from the library staff and learn about all the resources and opportunities available to creatives in the city, including the library’s Maker Spaces and free arts programming.

Following the tour, we'll gather next door at the Mount Pleasant Community Centre for coffee, tea, and snacks. There, you'll have the chance to meet all the other participants and make new friends and potential collaborators.

This session is completely free to join.
