What a night!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to Mabelle Arts for Nuit Blanche and helped make Mementos to Marvels such a special evening. From our visitors and participants to our artists, musicians, volunteers, staff and production team, this night truly would not have been possible without you.

We’re so grateful to the incredible artists and our Dream Team production crew who brought the Mementos to Marvels vision to life, transforming Mabelle Park into a space for memory, imagination, creativity and community.

A special thank you to our amazing musicians and singers who filled the park with beautiful live music and brought such energy and warmth to the evening:

🎶 Ruth Howard – Artist & Project Lead
🎶 Tijana Spasic – Artist, Arts4All
🎶 Martin van de Ven – Musical Director & Clarinet
🎶 Shifra Cooper – Singer & Singing Facilitator
🎶 Sharada Eswar – Singer & Jumblies Artistic Director
🎶 Myrto Koumarinos – Singer, Arts4All Artist & Performer
🎶 Áine Schryer-O’Gorman – Fiddle

And of course, a heartfelt thank you to our wonderful volunteers and staff, who worked throughout the night to welcome visitors, support the artists and performers, and help create an amazing experience for everyone who joined us.

And the story doesn’t end with Nuit Blanche!
Our Mementos to Marvels exhibition has been extended through October, giving you more time to experience the work and revisit the memories, stories and marvels that make this project so special. Come by and see it for yourself! Check out the last slide for more details.

From mementos to marvels, this was a night made possible by community. Thank you for being part of it.

Inspired by the vital role of bees in our ecosystems, participants will create their own small bee sculptures using wire and mixed materials while exploring themes of pollination, ecological balance, and community care. Through hands-on making and conversation, we’ll reflect on how creativity, like nature, flourishes through connection, collaboration, and shared responsibility.

Charmaine Lurch is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist whose work explores environmental relationships, ecology, and interconnected systems through sculpture, painting, and community engagement.

This free workshop is part of In Full Bloom, our summer arts series leading up to the Mabelle in Bloom Garden Party on August 8!
