Join us for our monthly Brampton Arts Organization Open Studio+. Make the BAO office your studio once a month from noon to 8:00 PM!

Why +

because it’s more than just an open studio. In addition to creating a space for community to gather, share work and support each other, we will also be hosting skill-building workshops during each Open Studio +.

+ is …

A space to foster creativity and encourage experimentation in an atmosphere of exchange, conversation, and support.

A place to encounter fellow creatives and learn about their work and practice.

A chance to find future collaborators or reconnect with old friends.

A studio to work on your own in-progress pieces and be inspired by someone else’s project.

An opportunity to learn new skills and explore different art practices and tools

Most importantly, Open Studio + is FREE to attend and open to all skill levels.

Bring your own works in progress or just drop in and use our art supplies and material to start a new project, find inspiration in our Community Library or use our photostudio.

Arts and culture are the heart of our communities and boost the local economy. Supporting the arts is more than just nice—it drives business, fosters creativity, and brings people together. Advocacy ensures the arts stay vibrant, leading to increased funding, better policies, and more opportunities for artists, cultural organizations, and creative businesses in Brampton.
