Join the AGG Volunteer Association on Oct. 24 at 2 p.m. at the Art Gallery of Guelph for a talk by Janice Mason Steeves, a Saskatchewan-born artist and former clinical psychologist whose career has spanned international artist residencies and gallery representation. Janice will discuss how a transformative dream during an artist residency in Sweden inspired her book, Bloom: On Becoming an Artist Later in Life.

Janice will share her journey of becoming an artist and explore how creativity can flourish as we age. Her book combines personal anecdotes with the stories of 138 artists, offering a fresh perspective on how art and aging can positively intersect. Discover how older artists can leverage their experiences and embrace creativity to renew their sense of purpose and joy.

No registration required; all are welcome. Attendees will also have the chance to purchase an autographed copy of Bloom.
