On Culture Days September 24 to October 24, 2021. Join us for a 4-week celebration of creativity all across Canada. Click here to learn more. 

Brampton Library has been a key organizer for local artists and culture groups of all kinds for many years through its Ontario Culture Days Hub. We are inspiring connections with talented individuals of all ages and we invite you to join us! 

Due to COVID-19, our Culture Days presentations and performances will be virtual again in 2021. This year’s theme, to RE:IMAGINE culture after a challenging time, underlines our priority to showcase traditional and new artistic interpretations and share the unexpected creative projects emerging in the growing digital space. 

Opportunities for interaction over the exciting month of Culture Days (September 24 -- October 24, 2021) are many and varied: Art lovers and creators can enjoy chatting with a musician in a live session, or learn how an author thickens a plot, or a culinary artist creates a beautiful blossom from an ordinary radish. Learn a new dance step, create a fun craft with your family, enjoy the serenity of a landscape in watercolour or relax in a yoga session. All virtual activities are free to explore, enjoy and participate in 24/7 for the entire month.

We invite artists from various disciplines to join our Ontario Culture Days Hub to share live sessions, digital recordings, self-guided tours, and more. 

Whether you are an amateur or professional, everyone is encouraged to get involved, promote their businesses, and sell their products during their event.

To secure a spot and receive assistance with your Culture Days application, please contact Surita Dey at sdey@bramlib.on.ca
