As we prepare for St. Patrick’s Day, why not join us for an afternoon as the Celtic Fiddlers, a dynamic ensemble of seven talented musicians, take the stage to present "Celtic Tides."

This captivating show tells the compelling story of the Irish migration to Newfoundland, weaving together the rich tapestry of music, culture, and history that has shaped the unique identity of our province.

Under the direction of Korona Brophy, musician, arranger and teacher, the Celtic Fiddlers, formed in 1993 perform at a wide milieu of international, national and festivals and special events. Their travels have taken them to New York, Ireland, Isle of Man, Ottawa, and throughout the province.

2:30 pm - 3:30 pm

Join us for an inspiring afternoon highlighting the artists who captured the spirit of the 2025 Canada Summer Games—live and on location. While athletes competed across St. John’s, a volunteer collective of artists worked quickly with pen, paint, and pastels as they documented the energy of competition and community in real time.

This event offers a behind-the-scenes look at their creative process, from the challenges of drawing in motion to the thrill of finding the perfect line amid the action. You’ll hear first-hand stories from the field—weather swings, crowded venues, and the art of working fast—alongside selections from sketchbooks and paintings created during the Games.

Whether you’re an art lover, Games fan, aspiring sketcher or a curious community member, this session promises insight, inspiration, and practical tips for drawing in public spaces.

Tickets: $12 plus HST. Free for Rooms members. Get your tickets online or by calling 709-757-8090.
