Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Experience an unforgettable evening of live music, dance, film, and meaningful conversation at Kingston's Broom Factory.

The night begins with captivating live performances by The Kingston School of Dance duo Winnie Seaby & Pippa Seaby, setting the stage for a celebration of artistry, resilience, and human connection.

Following the performance, enjoy a screening of To Labour, with Love , a locally produced documentary featuring Kingston mothers and healthcare professionals that explores the realities of childbirth with honesty, compassion, and hope. Stay afterward for an intimate Q&A with filmmaker Kaycee Leigh and participants from the film, where the conversation extends beyond birth to the universal experiences of family, identity, and community.

Throughout the evening, connect with fellow community members over complimentary refreshments, browse the silent auction featuring local businesses, and enter to win door prizes generously donated by community partners, including Cher Mere, Improbable Escapes, and Delta Hotels.

Whether you're a parent, expecting, work in healthcare, love the arts, or simply enjoy thoughtful community events, this evening offers a welcoming space to connect, reflect, and celebrate the stories that unite us.

Stay for a mixer while acclaimed local singer-songwriter Mellow Lily dazzles us with her voice.

All ages are welcome. The film contains authentic depictions of childbirth (no nudity). Free parking is available on-site and on nearby streets.
