Something on Sundays<br />
SomethingonSundays provides child-, family-, and<br />
adult-centered programs free to the public every<br />
Sunday afternoon. The program offers complementary<br />
programming relating to current exhibitions and has<br />
included talk/tours, film screenings, children’s art<br />
activities, public tours, gallery theatre, music and dance<br />
performances, public forums, artist demonstrations,<br />
storytelling, poetry readings, panel discussions,<br />
workshops, and lectures that all relate in some way to<br />
current exhibitions. Initiated in 1995, it was the first<br />
such program in Canada and has proven extremely<br />
popular. Since then, regular Sunday programs have<br />
become a mainstay in galleries across the country.<br />
Our statistics demonstrate that at least ten percent of<br />
total visits to the <strong>Mendel</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> happen during<br />
SomethingonSundays. By targeting the casual viewer<br />
who may not have much time to spend in the <strong>Gallery</strong>,<br />
we offer simultaneous activities that run continuously<br />
2–4pm.<br />
Participation continues to grow from recent years,<br />
due in part to programming activities with a wider<br />
popular appeal, and catchier pre-advertised themes.<br />
We are also focussing on partnering with more<br />
outside organizations/groups to reach deeper into the<br />
community.<br />
