BAO January Open Studio+

because it's more than just an open studio. In addition to creating a space for community to gather, share work and support each other, we will also be hosting skill-building workshops during select Open Studio+.

• A space to foster creativity and encourage experimentation in an atmosphere of exchange, conversation, and support.
• A place to encounter fellow creatives and learn about their work and practices.
• A chance to find future collaborators or reconnect with old friends.
• A studio to work on your own in-progress artworks and be inspired by someone else's project.
• An opportunity to learn new skills and explore different art practices and tools.

Most importantly, Open Studio+ is FREE to attend and open to all skill levels.

As always, you can bring your own works in progress to Open Studio+. You can use our art supplies and materials to start a new project, take pictures in our Photography Studio, find inspiration in our Community Library, record beats in our Recording Studio and so much more.

Drop-in any time between noon and eight p.m. and make the most of this artistic environment.

NOTE: There is no workshop for this edition of Open Studio+. Instead we invite the Brampton creative community to gather, network and share your plans for 2026.
