SUMMARY:Crit Night at The Kube
DESCRIPTION:Crit Night at The Kube is a community-driven deep dive into the creative process. Inspired by artist-led critiques in Vancouver\, we are bringing this intentional space to the Coast to help artists move past “stuck” moments and help the community learn the language of art. Our goal is to create a supportive\, professional\, and high-energy environment. Whether you are a presenting artist\, a fellow creator\, or an art lover\, you will leave with a sharper eye and new perspectives on composition\, mood\, and technique.

SUMMARY:“Stealing Like an Artist” Painting Workshop with Marlene Lowden
DESCRIPTION:If you’re ready to get your hands seriously messy\, join me for a two-day painting extravaganza inspired by the idea that great artists gather\, remix\, and make it their own. Across these two days\, we’ll play\, experiment\, and make art that’s all yours\, inspired by sparks you find in other artists’ work. And yes\, we’ll be guided by David Bowie’s glorious wisdom: “The only art I’ll ever study is the stuff that I can steal from.” \nThis workshop is best for folks who have some painting experience (or who joined me for the previous weekend) —you don’t need to be a pro\, just comfy enough with your materials to dive in and explore.

SUMMARY:“Exploring the Foundations” A Playful Introduction to Painting
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve been wanting to begin (or rekindle) your painting journey\, join me\, Marlene Lowden\, for a gentle\, joy-filled 2 day workshop designed for beginners and anyone craving a brush-up. Together we’ll dive into experimentation\, explore mark-making\, and uncover the 7 elements of design—those essential building blocks that support every painting you’ll ever make. We’ll play with colour\, shape\, line\, value\, texture\, and form in ways that are accessible\, supportive\, and fun. Most of the exercises are rooted in my abstract painting practice\, but this workshop is open to those who prefer more object-based work; we are simply building your creative toolbox.

SUMMARY:International Women's Day Collage at The Kube
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a playful collage workshop celebrating creativity and intuition. This two-hour session is open to teens and adults of all experience levels—no art background required\, just curiosity. We’ll begin with a series of simple exercises exploring how shape and colour can express mood\, energy\, and ideas.\nFor inspiration\, Marlene will introduce you to historical and contemporary women (including local) artists who use collage as part of their creative process. She will share a bit about how collage has been used as a form of expression\, storytelling\, and reclamation—especially by women. The second half of the workshop is open studio time\, where you’ll create your own collage\, following your instincts and personal interests. Please bring scissors & a glue stick.
