Join us for In Situ, a three-day multi-arts festival, October 27, 28 and 29, 2016 in the Small Arms Building, an abandoned WWII munitions inspection building at 1352 Lakeshore Road in Mississauga.

The Small Arms Society invites you to this event in celebration of the upcoming restoration of this large-scale urban industrial heritage building into a future creative hub. In Situ, an immersive and interactive event will animate the space and spark your imagination with music, photography, performance, dance, improv, mime, spoken word, mural and graffiti art, installation art, design and more by some of the GTA’s best emerging artists!

Working within the parameters of an experimental course - Special Topics in Contemporary Art – second year students in the Visual and Digital Arts Program at Humber College will be engaging in an extended research project on the Small Arms Facility. Assembled in collaborative teams engaging diverse research methods, student-artists will conceptualize, prepare, and execute a series of installation artworks that critically examine the history of the site. Student groups will be advised by contemporary artist Sharlene Bamboat, whose diverse practice in site-specific work will help inform creative strategies for student-lead artworks.
