PAF RIVER RESIDENCY
Installations, making cool stuff, party and dancing…Yay! STO Union is happy to be supporting the 1st ever Artist in Residence program featuring Hooria Rahimi and presented by PAF – Place des Artistes de Farrellton
Merch
In MERCH, students collaborate with professional artists, learning how to create “merchandise” while exploring various production methods and the economics of art.
If there is Light, we can Play
At times, we have access to spectacular lighting, and the public is invited to create equally spectacular shadows. Other times, the light is as simple as a bedside lamp. When funds for grand lighting are not there, we make do with what we have. But regardless of the source, as long as there’s light, we can play.
Projections
In Hopes and Fears Projection, everyone is welcomed to input one sentence each, about something that they fear and about something that they hope for.
A few moments later, their individual hope and fear is projected, anonymously, large scale, for all the public to see.
Play with Me
Choose puppets and a background to play with and create a dramatic scene. Create a story and give it a title.
RIVER
RIVER: A Year In Colour invites people to colour 4 drawings of the Gatineau River in different seasons
People Watching Station
People Watching Station • Installation
This interactive installation takes something that humans do, compare themselves to others, and turns it into a more aware experience through art and fun.
The Empty Stage
What would you put on the stage? Submit your entries and view the first Empty Stage Video here.
AI RITUAL
AI Ritual – information from an intimate public sharing is fed into an AI model which then creates a final thought that it shares back to us. In AI Ritual, AI is the artist and does what artists do: paint a picture of who we are at this given time.
CREATION ROOMS
Creation Rooms are spaces designed for the public to enter, roll up their sleeves, and let themselves be creative through the arts.
STO Union acknowledges that our headquarters, located in Farrellton, QC, are on the unceded, unsurrendered Territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.
