The Pronoun Project celebrates how pedagogy can breathe new life into gender neutral language. As part of their ongoing work, local artist and Bachelor of Education student, Hill Werth sets forth to showcase pronouns beyond the binary. Extending from this activist-based exhibition, Hill will also lead free public programs that embody common themes of queer and trans education, presence, and affirmation.
Visit Hill Werth's solo exhibition The Pronoun Project, on our Feature Wall from March 5 – May 11, 2024.
TWO SESSIONS: March 6 + March 14, 6pm
Led by local and exhibiting artist Hill Werth, this hands-on workshop is an exploration of mixed media on wood panels. This is an ideal workshop for experimenting with a range of artmaking materials and techniques, and a playful way to combine fundamental art mediums in new and exciting ways.
March 16, 1-3pm

In this special edition of Pride Creativity Club, we are inviting 2SLGBTQIA+ folks to join us at Union Gallery instead of Kingston School of Art.

Pride Creativity Club is free, materials are provided, and no prior artistic experience is necessary!
