The Niagara community will have the chance to explore Brock University\u2019s Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts (MIWSFPA) this weekend while learning about the building\u2019s past and present.<\/p>\n
The downtown St. Catharines facility, which houses Brock\u2019s Departments of Dramatic Arts, Music and Visual Arts as well as the Centre for Studies in Arts and Culture (STAC), will host a series of guided tours as part of Doors Open St. Catharines on Saturday, Aug. 20. Tours will take place at 10 and 11:30 a.m., and 1 and 2:30 p.m., with no registration required.<\/p>\n
Adapted from the historic Canada Hair Cloth Building, the MIWSFPA is a state-of-the-art learning facility that acts as a creative cultural hub for St. Catharines and surrounding areas.<\/p>\n
As part of this weekend\u2019s event, STAC will have a collection of publications on display by the Small Walker Press (SWP). SWP publishes collaborative work that brings together authors and artists from the Niagara region as well as from Canadian or international contexts.<\/p>\n
The works explore all disciplines and creative practices taught and researched at the MIWSFPA (arts and culture, visual arts, music and dramatic arts) as well as creative writing. For more information about the SWP and publications available at Doors Open St. Catharines, please visit the STAC website.<\/a><\/p>\n
