1. NAC Unloads at the Flea Market
46 Turner Crescent
(between Oakdale and Hartzel Road in St. Catharines)
Sunday 4 July & Sunday 11 July
9:00am – 4:00pm

Need stuff? Support your favourite artist-run centre by picking some up at NAC’s new flea market booth. The Factory Outlet Flea Market has generously offered local charities the opportunity to hawk interesting cast-offs at this popular Kasbah. We’re in a booth in the back section across from Earl’s Record stand. This just isn’t any stuff, its good stuff donated by NAC members and liberated from the treasure trove in NAC’s basement: records, movies, books, 16mm projectors, keepsakes, knick-knacks, bric-a-brac, and all that—ALL CHEAP and priced to move like prune juice through a goose! Make a day of it, enjoy a corn dog, some fries with gravy and an ice-cold carbonated beverage of your choice!

HELD OVER UNTIL SATURDAY 17 JULY

After retiring from the Standard, I searched countless photos and old black and white negatives boxes to put together a collection of images taken over the years.
