About the Performers:

Kubasonics are arguably Newfoundland and Labrador's finest Ukrainian band. This award winning group combines top-flight musicianship spiced with quirky humour, a dizzying array of exotic traditional instruments, and an eclectic high-energy stage show. They have also delighted audiences with their folk dance and musical instruments workshops at festivals across Canada. Their entertaining mix of traditional Eastern European dance grooves and unexpected splashes of hybrid musicality is an experience not soon to be forgotten. 

Events & Programs

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

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?
