Sharing Our Cultures
For 23 years, Sharing our Cultures has celebrated and showcased our province's diversity by enabling school youth from diverse cultural backgrounds to share aspects of their cultures through interactive exhibits. This multicultural and educational event allows the public to travel the world, learn its many stories and make positive intercultural connections.
Join the conversation with amazing individuals who contribute daily to the social, cultural, and economic development of Newfoundland and Labrador. Listen to their stories in sharing circles and discover the difference they are making in our community.
Sharing Our Cultures is held in recognition of the United Nations International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (March 21), and in celebration of the Province’s Multiculturalism Month.

À la découverte de nos cultures est tenu en reconnaissance de la Journée international pour l’élimination de la discrimination raciale (21 mars), et en célébration du mois du multiculturalisme de Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador.

Events & Programs
Taking inspiration from Toby Rabinowitz’s exhibition, A World Within A World, visitors can choose an animal silhouette provided by us and decorate it with brightly-coloured patterns using various shapes and materials.
Toby’s artwork is full of bright, imagined worlds with magical creatures and friends playing together. She says her work is for kids and happy adults – make sure you stop in to look for yourself in the art gallery on level 4.
What magical creature will you create?
Drop-in program – no registration is required.
