Hey Everyone, 

With extreme gratitude for the efforts of the firefighters, first responders, and wildfire experts who have working so hard to contain the fires in our province, we are relieved to be able to say that we can resume our regular programming this week. 

We have had to make some adjustments to our plans for the next couple of weeks so we have included an updated schedule below. 

If you are looking for a tangible way to help the people who have been most affected by the wildfires in our province, here is a link to donate to the local Red Cross Campaign. 

Be sure to email us at aampinfo@gmail.com if you have any questions.

Weekly Events

Whether you are looking for some creative time, a chance to dance, or your kids are looking to fingerpaint a masterpiece, you can join us weekly at The Annex.

Every Wednesday

If you’re working on a creative project (or if you’d like help starting one!), join us at the Annex for this art/craft hangout session every Wednesday.

Kids Stuff

Fingerpaint & Playdoh
Fridays, August 8 – 29
10:30AM-12:00PM

Fingerpaint! Playdoh! Stickers!

This drop-in session for little kids* is all about letting them make a mess that you don’t have to clean up. 🙂

We set up tables with playdoh, fingerpaints, stickers and other artsy supplies, we lend your kids a smock, and they can create to their hearts’ content.

You clean their hands before they go home and we’ll clean the rest.

*or kids of any age who enjoy this kind of hands-on art!
