The Convent | Ta’n etl-mawita’mk in Kjikank, Unama'ki (Sydney, Cape Breton) is celebrating the opening of its first exhibition, “Are Wilds”, featuring a number of local artists, which will run until June 25, 2021 at Gallery 203, located on the second floor of the building, next to the Better Bite Café.

The Convent | Ta’n etl-mawita’mk is thriving, supporting artists, local businesses and the community despite the pandemic. The brilliant and energetic occupants and generous supporters continue to add character and life to the centre. Marking the one-year anniversary of the first occupants moving into the centre, there are plenty of exciting moments of creativity still to come, with the installation of new public art by local artists.

The Convent | Ta’n etl-mawita’mk makes the arts more visible and provides a place to work that is safe, inclusive, affordable, and beautiful.
