About this Event
Outside the Lines is a FREE community arts night at Stewart Avenue Public School.
Wednesday, September 23, 2026 · 5:00–8:00 p.m.
145 Stewart Avenue, Cambridge, ON N1R 2V5
All ages. No ticket price. Come when you can - you don’t have to stay until 8, but you just might! Fun for the whole family!
This is not a concert you sit still for.
Families are invited to create, explore, experiment, move, play, discover, and connect.
What you can expect
- Hands-on art: paint, markers, collaborative pieces - colour outside the lines on purpose
- Pavement play and sidewalk chalk
- Music and movement
- A quieter sound healing & Deep Listening corner (calm · connect · create)
- Photography / visual storytelling
- Giant games and family play
- Snow-cone zone (while supplies land)
- Creative Passports to stamp with community partners
- Take-home colouring pages for students
- Stations built so every kid can join in - including kids who need to move, watch first, or take a quiet minute
You don’t need to be “crafty.” You don’t need to bring a kit. Wear clothes that can meet chalk and paint. Costumes welcome, not required.

Why the night exists
Help children and families find the creative life that’s already in their own community - and leave thinking, I didn’t know creativity could look like this.
Jack Outside the Box is paired in spirit with Keith Haring: art is for everybody.
Connected by Community (sound and wellness) is paired in spirit with Pauline Oliveros: some of the strongest art is heard, felt, and shared.
