Saturday, February 19th at the Thistle — We sang, showcased art, ate and hung out. The reaction was all positive and I believe everyone had a great time.
The setting up of the place started at about somewhere past 5pm and the food was laid on the table by eight. It was a night of good food, wonderful wall artworks and ofcourse heart-warming music as the event progressed.

The Thistle is a youth-run arts and activism centre. We operate in four main ways: We are open in the afternoons and evenings for drop-in. Please see signs on the door, big white board and website for hours. We run classes and projects of all kinds. There is lots of information available about what’s going on and how to sign up. If it isn’t totally obvious, ask someone.
We run full-time, paid training programs during the day, focused around arts, community work and/or publishing. If you are interested, write matt@purplethistle.ca Also, lots of groups, big and small, use the space for meetings, conferences, gatherings or as a work-space. You are welcome to meet here, just run it past the collective.
