Opening July 8: State of Equanimity
2021-07-08 15:00 - 16:00 (America/Toronto) | ON
State of Equanimity
Brenda LaRose
During July a new exhibit in our virtual gallery, State of Equanimity, invites you to leave all the hustle & bustle behind and venture to lake country. Brenda LaRose loves northern Ontario, the stunning landscapes provide her with endless inspiration that inform many of her paintings.

Join us for the official opening on July 8 at 7 pm via Zoom and enjoy a guided tour through the exhibit by the artist. All you need to join us is this ID 859 3076 4431
“Equanimity is the evenness of mind, especially under stress. It allows us to stand in the midst of conflict or crisis balanced, grounded and centred. It helps us stay upright in the face of the strong winds of conflict and crisis, like the trees and rocks stay solid in the face of the harsh northern climate,” quotes LaRose. Being out in nature helps this artist cultivate and practice mindfulness. Through painting, LaRose experiences that same mindfulness and peacefulness needed to handle life’s storms and struggles.
Her favourite paintings have always been landscapes. “I have become passionate about sharing my love for landscapes like the awe-inspiring beauty of the lakes and woods around Whitestone Lake. I love to head out in my kayak with my camera, especially first thing in the morning, to explore the lake and capture it’s beauty,” says LaRose. www.artsonthecredit.ca/gallery

Public Information Session: Revitalization of the North Section of SAIB - July 14
2021-07-14 14:30 - 15:30
Join us for project updates on the revitalization of the north section of the Small Arms Inspection Building.

Join us for a presentation to share a draft site plan of the North Section of the Small Arms Inspection Building. There will be an opportunity for questions after the presentation.
Complete project information courtesy of the Have Your Say Mississauga Site:

The Small Arms Inspection Building (SAIB) has been part of the Lakeview community since 1939. The City of Mississauga opened the south portion of the building in 2018 to serve as a community cultural hub. It offers 18,000 square feet of flexible, open concept space available for shared use during public hours and is available as a rental space. The south portion is ideal for events, exhibitions, workshops, performances, meetings, festivals, and more.
Now, the City of Mississauga is conducting a feasibility study that will set a vision and plan for the rehabilitation of the north side of the building comprised of 24,000 sq ft of space.

Project Update
Thank you to everyone that participated in the first phase of SAIB North End Revitalization Project. Over 370 community members and businesses participated in 2 surveys and over 30 virtual meetings were held with organizations, arts groups and local businesses. The SAIB Stakeholder Consultation Report and the SAIB Market Assessment Report are now available for review. The data collected in these two reports will be used to determine uses of space within the north building.
We’ve heard that there is a strong desire for SAIB to remain focused on arts, culture and heritage. It is also important to look at the future needs of the Lakeview community and surrounding area as it grows significantly in the next five to ten years. Decisions on use will be based on a variety of factors that include listening to the community, proactively planning for future growth and ensuring the vision and plan for the building is financially sustainable.

Your Opinion Matters
Due to COVID-19, the City has postponed in-person public engagement activities based on public health recommendations and the need for physical distancing. Your feedback matters and the City is seeking help to understand what amenities you want to see prioritized in the revitalization of SAIB through an online survey that is now closed. City staff will continue to engage with the public to confirm the findings of the feedback and ensure the building meets community needs.
Use the Q & A feature below if you have immediate questions about the project. To stay informed about this project, please use the subscribe function above to receive project updates.

Art

Yasmina Reza (born in 1959) is a French playwright, actress, novelist and screenwriter best known for her play God of Carnage, is also the author of the Tony award winning play we are reading this month, Art. Many of her brief satiric plays have reflected on contemporary middle-class issues. She is a highly decorated playwright with multiple Moliere awards, two Lawrence Olivier awards, two Tonys, and many other awards throughout her career thus far.

Set in Paris, Art revolves around three friends—Serge, Marc and Yvan—who find their previously solid 15-year friendship on shaky ground when Serge buys an expensive painting. The canvas is white, with several fine white lines.
Marc is appalled to hear that Serge had paid two hundred thousand francs, scornfully describes it as “a piece of white shit”. Serge argues that the painting, created by a reputable artist, is worth its hefty price, but Marc remains unconvinced.
Serge and Marc confide in Yvan about their disagreement. Yvan, who is engaged but conflicted over his forthcoming wedding, remains neutral and attempts to smooth things over. To Serge, Yvan comments politely on the painting but admits that he does not grasp the essence of it. To Marc, Yvan laughs at the painting’s price but suggests that the work is not quite meaningless. Yvan’s vacillations only fuel the disagreement as his friends criticize his timid neutrality.
Will their friendship survive?

SAWITRI Theatre presents Pandemic Pandemonium | Friday, August 27, Saturday, August 28 and Sunday, August 29
2026-03-07 23:00
Pandemic Pandemonium by Jasmine Sawant & Kyle Climans is a tragi-comic chronicling of the days our world stopped spinning (well almost) when COVID closures hit the friendly neighbours, Mehtas, Chois and Barrett and the Aroras who were visiting. Fences went up, masks went on, tempers rose and everything hung in an ambivalent haze in this little haven in Mississauga. Suddenly in this hostile and inhospitable environment love dared to put forth a tentative tendril.
Set in the gorgeous landscaped groups of the Benares Historic House, this timely outdoor theatrical performance in on a Donation basis, and BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) – and is sure to make for a great outing to not only visit one of Mississauga’s heritage landmarks, but witness live theatre’s thriving persistence in our community as summer comes to a close.

NÓŻKI OPERA PRESENTS: THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO - AUG 26 & 28
2026-03-07 23:00
Nóżki Opera Presents: The Marriage of Figaro! Funded by MAC’s Matchmaker MicroGrant program, this is an intimate outdoor garden performance of Mozart’s beloved opera, The Marriage of Figaro, produced by young artists.
Available for viewing in-person August 26th & 28th
We will be offering two outdoor performances (weather permitting) this summer. Reserve your spot in the garden now! Join us for an evening of magical music under the stars!
Reserve Your Spot in the Garden!

About Nóżki Opera:

We are a group of young artists who are passionate about opera. Experience preparing and performing operatic roles is essential to our career development so by creating our own performance opportunities, we are able to set goals that further our vocal and musical development. Having the freedom to make creative decisions about the presentation of a work, in addition to our individual roles, is crucial to developing our own artistic voices. As the drivers of our own artistic vision, we can build an understanding of what we aim to contribute to our communities as artists.
What started off as a passion project to occupy our time during the summer of 2020, has become such a rewarding experience. Our primary goals for the project are: 1) to bring opera to those who may not have access to it, 2) to present opera that is relevant and meaningful to those with limited knowledge of the art form, 3) to present live theatre that utilizes the outdoor setting to enhance the performance experience.
​We strive to eliminate many of the barriers that we see deterring many potential opera viewers: high ticket prices, formal concert settings, exclusion of those with less prior knowledge about opera, and a perception that the narratives and music are outdated. In this summer’s garden production of The Marriage of Figaro, we will foster an intimate and laid-back atmosphere.
​Through our performances, we hope we can impart our love of opera to you!
​Creative Team: Anna Wojcik, Vivien Illion, Benjamin Loyst, Alex Wang

Machinal

Sophie Anita Treadwell (October 3, 1885 – February 20, 1970) was an American journalist and playwright of the first half of the 20th century. Her best known work, which we will read this month is Machinal which is often included in drama anthologies as an example of an expressionist or modernist play. In addition to writing dozens of plays and journals, she also wrote several novels, as well as serial stories and countless articles that appeared in newspapers. Treadwell also produced, directed and acted in some of her productions. The styles and subjects of Treadwell’s writings are vast, but many present women’s issues of her time, subjects of current media coverage, or aspects of Treadwell’s Mexican heritage.[1]

A young woman works as a low-level stenographer and lives with her mother. She follows the rituals that society expects of a woman, however resistant she may feel about them. She subsequently marries her boss, whom she finds repulsive. After having a baby with him, she has an affair with a younger man who fuels her lust for life. Driven to murder her husband, she is convicted of the crime and is executed in the electric chair.
