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)
