Alt Art is proud to present a FREE weekend art exhibition hosted locally at The Sudbury Theatre Centre in Sudbury, designed to showcase an inspiring mix of new and experienced talented artists both from our local community and across the globe, creating an immersive experience that feels fresh, exciting, and alive.
Featured artists include Cambrian College Alumni, creators from Montreal, and international pieces sent in from Italy. This diverse roster promises a rich and dynamic art experience.
The event aims to revive and reimagine the art culture here in Sudbury, making it more engaging and accessible than ever before ~ it has the potential to inspire others to tap into their own creativity and see art not just as something to observe, but something to feel, think about, and connect through.
The event breaks away from traditional gallery formats by creating a unique flow throughout the space, allowing attendees to engage deeply with the artwork in an immersive and inviting environment.
A special art installation will be presented in its own dedicated area, drawing focused attention and providing a unique centrepiece for the show.
Engagement extends beyond the exhibition floor, with a creative workshop on Sunday morning designed to inspire children in the community to explore their own artistic potential.
Attendees will also enjoy refreshments, a print giveaway featuring one of the exhibited works, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content shared on social media leading up to and during the event.

Storytelling: Yayoi Kusama — “Covered Everything in Dots and Wasn’t Sorry”
Through the immersive voice of a YES Theatre actor, children will be guided into the fascinating world of contemporary artist Yayoi Kusama. The story will unfold with energy and imagination, helping kids visualize the importance of dots in art. The journey continues as kids step into an interactive white-room installation, inspired by Kusama’s iconic “Infinity Rooms.” Here, they will reflect, play, and finally create their own dot-inspired artwork—learning not just about Kusama, but about the power of imagination and the beauty of seeing the world through art.
