About this Event
Join BAND for an Arts Excursion Field Trip!
Don’t miss this exciting group trip to visit Hotel Confidential, a new three-day contemporary art exhibition, bringing together 16 local and international artists to reimagine The Royal Hotel’s Annex building in Picton, Prince Edward County, as a site for artistic experimentation and encounters.
This field trip offers the opportunity to experience Hotel Confidential while also exploring the charm and character of the town. Set inside the annex of the historic Royal Hotel, the exhibition invites visitors to move through the space and engage with a unique immersive art experience.
Your ticket includes round-trip bus transportation to and from the Royal Hotel in Picton, as well as admission to the exhibition.
Food is not included with the ticket, but guests are encouraged to enjoy a meal or snack at the Royal Hotel. We will also stop for lunch at Slake Brewery, where food will be available from Rebel Taco.
