Loyalist City Shakespeare presents one of William Shakespeare’s great tragedies on-site at Place Fort La Tour. A brave Scottish general receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King. A tragic tale of ambition, superstition, guilt, and murder.
The backdrop of historic Place Fort La Tour is the perfect setting for an immersive theatrical performance of Shakespeare’s greatest play. You won’t want to miss out on this unique experience!
Written by William Shakespeare. Directed by Sandra Bell.
All supplies provided. Each class differs between still-life creations to follow along instructional. Be prepared for the unexpected, and over-all, enjoy the joy of painting! In May, join Cass at InterAction School of Performing Arts (enter at Queen St side entrance) and let your creative vibes flow.
Cassandra is a Saint John born artist who uses art to reconnect with themself, and to help better identify a sense of culture in this crazy world. They strive to create a fundamental outlet for those who believe that art and creating is for the select few- helping break narratives that anyone can create- and being that helpful guide that can bring them to the happiness that comes with celebrating a creative outlet and lifestyle.

Colourful, zany acrobatics for the whole family to enjoy!
The circus invades the museum!
Seven zany acrobats and an electrifying musician take in a monochrome exhibit. With a creative spark, they set off an explosion of color. In mocking defiance of convention, these wacky and endearing characters eagerly explore the exhibition inside out.
Dizzying feats, astonishing discoveries, poetic liberties, and a serious dose of some silly good fun come together to fuel this ode to creativity.
After two years’ absence and 2022’s ‘online edition’, SJAC’s popular fundraiser is back LIVE for 2023 to answer the burning question, ‘What’s in the Box?’!
When is ‘What’s in the Box?’
Thursday, April 20, 7-9pm, join us for an entertaining evening of delicious food, fine drink, and an opportunity to support your community arts centre! (A $25 tax receipt can be issued for each $75 ticket.) Please note that online ticket purchasers will be added to our guest list at the door, and do not require a a physical ticket.
What actually *is* in the box?
By filling out a ballot (or more than one), you’ll have the unique chance to purchase for $100 a ‘mystery box’ containing an original artwork, which has been generously donated by one of over 50 local professional artists.
If you’re not one of the lucky 50 whose ballot is drawn, maybe you’ll see a work you’d like to own in the one-night-only exhibition of works by our donor artists!
(Please note that the ballot/chance to be drawn is not part of the event ticket price and is entirely optional. Attendees who choose to take part in the draw commit to buying one of the ‘mystery boxes’ of art for $100 if their ballot is drawn.)
Why support this fundraiser?
Funds from this event support our programs, including our important Artists’ Rights Fees program, to support the artists who share their works in the galleries of SJAC.
Please note: face masks are encouraged while not actively eating or drinking.
