Fire Jumping Ceremony – Chaharshanbe Suri

The event is called Chaharshanbe Suri and translates to “Scarlet Wednesday” in Farsi. This ancient Persian practice that takes place on the last Tuesday night (eve of the Wednesday) before the spring equinox. This year, it falls on March 12.
One major part of the Chaharshanbe Suri celebration is to jump over fire. Historically, Persians have recognized fire as a sacred element, one that represents light, wisdom and truth. This cleansing practice of jumping over the fire is meant to bring good luck and good fortune as we prepare to enter a new year.
We will be serving hot tea and sweets and will have a mini exhibition set up to provide some context around this and other Noruz practices. This event is open to all ages and is FREE.

GPAG: Artist Trading Card Workshop

Join us during our Youth Shout Out Exhibition on Wednesday, March 20th 2pm – 3pm at GPAG to learn how to make your own artist trading cards (ATCs) with local ATC artist Nadina Tandy. The workshop is free and pre-registration is not required. Drop in, make, and trade, or bring your ready-made cards in on the day. This workshop/demo is open to all; kids under 12 require parents/supervision please.

Artist Trading Cards (ATC’s) are miniature pieces of art that are traded for free all around the world! There’s only one rule: the size of the card must be 2.5” x 3.5”. Otherwise, anything goes: you can draw, collage, paint on the cards… just make them, sign and date the back, and trade them with other artists.
