Coffee & Culture
Join us for a virtual artist talk with Nelson White, currently featured in the exhibition Me<->You on Level 3 at The Rooms. Nelson’s vibrant, powerful portraits of friends, family and an extended community of Indigenous leaders, activists, artists and many others celebrate relationships and kin. A member of the Flat Bay First Nation Band (No'kmaq Village), and now based on St. John’s, Nelson’s artworks have garnered praise nationally and internationally. How does he choose his subjects? How does his work upend historical stereotypes? Where does he find inspiration?
Nelson White’s work is on display at The Rooms until January 30, 2022.

Being Present: The Architecture of The Rooms
The Rooms is a space where architecture and history meet, inspired by traditional fishing rooms that once brought communities together. Its design reflects the province’s stories—anchored in place, open to change—with each wing symbolically facing land, people, and sea.
Natural materials and bold colors evoke Newfoundland and Labrador’s landscape and spirit. Light, reflection, and shifting perspectives make the building feel alive, adapting with time and weather. This is more than a building—it’s a gathering place for memory, creativity, and connection.
Join us each day for an interpretive guided tour in one of our galleries. From the story of the Cod fishery to visiting a current art exhibition to a Family Rainbow tour, there is something for everyone.
Each tour is approximately 30 – 40 minutes and is included in the cost of admission. Free for Rooms members.
