Community Nights takes place on Tuesdays from 3:30pm-9:30pm. It provides artists and arts groups at every part of their development with FREE use of spaces at Eighth & Eight Creative Spaces at the Massey Theatre Complex. We are offering a maximum of two-hour blocks for each artist/group to build their creative projects and hone their artistic skills in a supportive, barrier-free environment.

By using the studio spaces, all participating groups will be asked to take part in a maximum of two free public events or forms of public engagement (e.g., workshop, talk) at Eighth & Eight Creative Spaces. More details will follow.

Please make sure you are eligible to apply for Tuesday Community Nights. We only accept artists/groups who:

  • Do not involve commercial activities (e.g., no advertising for your event).
  • Do not involve paid enrollment (e.g., no paid workshops or classes).
  • Do not involve public showings (e.g., exhibition/screening).
  • Do not directly solicit future sales (e.g. free with future purchase)

If you have questions about your eligibilities, please contact Ashton Ramsay, Head of Engagement at ashton@masseytheatre.com. To host activities that are not eligible for this program, please inquire about space rentals and our Artist Access discounted rates.

Currently, we are accepting applications for the Fall 2024 and Winter 2025 sessions. If you’re interested, please fill out the form.
