SEPTEMBER NEWSLETTER — What’s on in September
As we head into the Labour Day Long Weekend, there is something in the air with the start of September. Back to school. Back to getting organized and new beginnings — including at ArtSpring.
Our fresh new 2025/26 Season Event Launch was yesterday, and it officially goes on sale for members Tuesday September 2, and then for the public Tuesday September 9. It’s not too late to renew or purchase your Membership by August 31 to enjoy the immediate benefit of one week advance ticket pre-sales.
This may well include tickets to ArtSpring Presents’ first concert of the season — the wonderful Charles Richard-Hamelin, one of Canada’s most celebrated pianists. He is the first in a line-up of ALL CANADIAN ARTISTS this season. Please note ticket prices of $42 for adult and $10 for youth have been updated to now include GST so everything is more simple and convenient when purchasing tickets.
Also new, a legacy of our 25th Anniversary Celebration, ArtSpring’s RoundTable Committee is debuting its first season of six community-based showcases, dance parties, learning and talent nights. Organized by a robust volunteer group of local artists and advocates, the committee enhances ArtSpring’s public programming by engaging with and celebrating community spirit through the arts in welcoming ways.
Its first presentation is this September featuring a celebration of Indigenous and Métis artists in the Sweetgrass Arts & Music Indigenous Showcase. Tickets now on sale, and we hope you join us for this exceptional presentation. The RoundTable Committee is always looking for new vibrant volunteers with ideas and commitment to enhance our community.
September is also the time for new exhibitions, Salt Spring Forum, a visiting Tom Petty tribute and the sounds of Morocco and Flamenco from Caravan World Rhythms. Vetta is back with a beloved season launch, and Makana Youth Choirs opens its doors to a new season of vocal practice and harmonic fun for grades 2-9. Register by September 12.
This year, we are so pleased to announce co-Season Partners Island Savings and Ganges Village Marketplace as our lead sponsors in supporting ArtSpring in its mission to enrich, uplift, and connect the community through arts and culture. Thank you!
See you for a new season at ArtSpring!
