Show Then TELL!

TELL! is a community driven creative space for folks to gather and share their talents, interests, and other passions. As part of this month’s TELL! we’re excited to share a screening of the Lullaby Project, directed by local filmmaker Sara Geidlinger. 

And after the screening, folks will have the opportunity to present their talents, stories, passions, and just about anything else you can think of. 

This film follows three Waterloo Region songwriters who volunteered at Grand Valley Institution for Women, collaborating with incarcerated mothers to write original lullabies for the children they are separated from. 

Through guided songwriting sessions, these moms craft lullabies that become powerful expressions of love, memory, and longing — for their kids, and for the selves they’re trying to rebuild. 

An Artistic Platform for Almost Anything 

TELL! was created for artists to showcase their work to a supportive audience – a space to perform music, poetry, monologues, dance, you name it! We welcome all forms of expression, regardless of whether it’s a fully formed idea or still a work-in-progress.  

This event is low/no tech. Bring anything you may need for your performance, including amps for instruments. Use this opportunity to get feedback from an engaged audience or simply show us what you’ve got! 

Connect with other artists and community members. This is the place to learn more about what’s happening locally. You’ll hear calls to action, petitions shared and all sorts of announcements.  

*If you plan on performing, please choose the presenting ticket option when registering. 

A Community Potluck 

We know that art and food bring people together like nothing else. Join us for a potluck! Bring a dish* to share if you can. We’ll take care of the plates, utensils, and drinks (coffee, tea, and water). To cut down on waste, please bring your own reusable cups and bottles. Come and let’s break bread together. Join us for a night of socializing, sharing ideas, eating, drinking, and being merry! 

*Please include an ingredients list for any dishes you bring. 

Families with small children are also welcome.
