We`ve been captivated by @thewellmadewalrus `s crochet Marool ever since its arrival in the Gallery Shop 🐚💙 Whimsical, detailed, and full of personality – you have to see it in person!
Big news for the 460 Club 🔥 We’re excited to share that @hallshvacelec is stepping up in a big way, matching donations dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000! 💥
That means your $100 becomes $200… and your impact goes twice as far in supporting the Centre.
Help us turn $1,000 into $2,000 for local artists, programs, and creativity in our community 🎯

We’re just 4 donors away from hitting our first 100 members of the 460 Club 🎉
Because of recent provincial budget cuts, the Centre has lost $46,000 in core funding that keeps our doors open, supports local artists, and brings creative programming to our community.
But instead of scaling back… we’re building something bigger 💥
460 people × $100 = $46,000
Be one of the first 100 to step up and help us build momentum 🚀
Your $100 supports exhibitions, workshops, youth & Indigenous programming, and opportunities for local makers across Unama’ki Cape Breton.
Donate today by visiting the link in our bio! Let’s keep creativity thriving in Unama’ki 💛
The biggest THANK YOU to everyone who has donated so far! 🤗
