Doors Open 1000 Islands

This event is done through Doors Open Ontario as a heritage and cultural tourism program through the Ontario Heritage Trust and a network of provincewide community organizing partners. It is designed to allow free access and awareness to Brockville’s heritage sites and buildings, giving residents and visitors a unique opportunity to explore and enjoy places they would not regularly see or have access to. This event celebrates Brockville’s identity, creates volunteer opportunities, builds interest in the city’s heritage and culture, and creates economic development opportunities.

The event will take place on September 18th, 2026, and we hope to bring back as a yearly event. Sites such as Fulford Place, Brockville Museum, St John’s United Church/Arts Hub Brockville. City Hall, local churches, Brockville Arts Centre, and many more will have free admission for anyone interested in participating.

Oil Painting in a New Age with Andrea Mossop - A series of 4 Wednesday mornings

A safe return to the exquisite beauty of traditional oil paint, this expressive and luminous medium finds its twenty-first century voice.  This series of 4 classes is for beginners looking for the ‘forgiving’ medium, and for advanced painters who are developing their own style of painting by expanding their skills and materials.  
This course encourages independent creativity while introducing body-friendly and environment-considerate practices of oil painting. Learn various techniques of the old masters and the moderns for inspired approaches to painting.
Through the student’s personal choice of subject, concept and presentation, the instructor will guide the individual’s process from vision to execution. A healthy studio practice will be taught; no solvents will be used, clean-up with soap and water. Underpainting may be done in watercolour pencil, watercolour or acrylic.

séan mccann + Jeremy Fisher: United in Song

Some friendships are forged on the road. Séan McCann and Jeremy Fisher met in the lounge of a dusty tour bus behind an arena in Sudbury. Within minutes, they had guitars in hand and began co-writing their first song together. Their last proper co-headline tour was in 2011. Now, in 2026 they're bringing it back together with United in Song; a revue of their best and most beloved music. Séan and Jeremy will step on stage at the same time, trading tunes and backing each other up. If you like acoustic guitars, Irish hand drums, tin whistles, big heartfelt singalongs, and good stories, this show is for you. 

United in Song is a deliberate act of joyful resistance. In a world increasingly mediated by screens, algorithms, and artificial intelligence, Séan and Jeremy are making the case — loudly, melodically, and with considerable charm — that one of the most life-affirming human experiences is when real artists, play real songs, for real people, in a real room.

Expect the hits. Expect the stories. Expect to sing! 

Let's get together.

Into the Woods

Youth Opportunities in the Arts is thrilled to partner once again with the Brockville Operatic Society for another workshop presentation, this time, led by Naomi McNeill and highlighting Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods”. 

This is the fourth workshop in a series designed to introduce and educate our youth in the performance practice of Musical Theatre. 

The workshop’s are the brainchild of Anita Mortsch and Jordan Ross and have proved to be invaluable to youngsters interested in auditioning and taking part in musicals and community theatre. “The first three workshops focused more on singing and choreography” said Mortsch, “where Into the Woods will concentrate more on acting, scene work and delivering lines”. 

The workshop presentation will take place on Monday and Tuesday, October 26 and 27 @ 6:00 pm at Arts Hub Brockville.

Admission is free but donations to the YOA and Arts Hub Brockville will happily be accepted.
