‼️Come out to the Downtown Strathroy Market this Saturday May 30 to support local youth :-)
😍🤩Music Spot students ARLO, CHARLIE and ANDREA will be performing from noon to 1 pm!!!

One year ago we held our very first show of the Wright Summer Sound Series, welcoming Tim Schou and Laura Gagnon Music onto the stage! This was the first of 4 shows to welcome the community into our space to enjoy live music in the heart of downtown Strathroy before we transform 13 Front St W into The Wright Place!

This was such a rewarding evening, seeing the space come to life, giving us a glimpse into the rich future of the space. ✨

We were also lucky to have the incredible works of Martina Gallery on the walls for the evening, and the skilled sound work of Brendan Couture!

Thank you to our volunteers, artists and board for putting this together, it will be so fun to go back down memory lane with these shows.

As for what's next - check out our Build It Wright Campaign at wrightfoundation.ca/donate to learn more about the renovation and how you can support your future arts centre!
