Classes & Workshops

October is Queer History Month and in this workshop, we’ll be focusing on preserving items like scrapbooks, photos, cards, and letters that hold queer stories and memories. These personal items tell the important stories that deserve to be kept for future generations of queer Albertans. Join archivists and conservators from RAM and the Provincial Archives of Alberta (PAA) to learn how to care for your own paper memorabilia collection. This workshop will give you an introduction to best practices in caring for photos, letters, cards, and scrapbooks.  

Program Dates:  Mar 08, 2026 - Mar 13, 2026
Application Deadline: December 02, 2025

What does it mean to lead well in today's arts and culture sector? How do you know you're making the right decision for yourself, your organization, and your community? What does it look like to be strategic and thoughtful while managing risk in a rapidly evolving sector?

Leadership in the arts and culture sector is complex, dynamic, and deeply connected to community. This program invites emerging and experienced leaders to explore leadership through the lens of Indigenous wise practices, right relations, deep listening, self-inquiry, and leadership as a means, not a destination.

This year's Fluid Fest offers a thirst for wonder. Wonder that expands our field of sensing. Wonder as the pre-condition. Wonder as a vibrant, direct connection to the moment.

Immerse yourself in the possibility of performance.

Ten shows, endless curiosity, BODIES of WONDER.
