What is your idea of a perfect day?
“Every day I come to work in Millbrook is an ideal day for me. I love seeing all of the team and working closely with them. I particularly enjoy it when something challenging is happening. For me, it’s a sign Nexicom is growing and developing and striving to be the best.”
A Violent Peterborough

Still ReFrame runs throughout January
Are you looking for information about the 2015 ReFrame Film Festival?
That’s right — “Still ReFrame” launches in advance of the film portion, with a reception at the Market Hall on Sunday, January 13th from 4 to 8 pm.
Using visual art to communicate social issues of concern, 11 artists and collectives bring their ideas to venues across downtown Peterborough.

ReFrame – International Film Fest in Peterborough
Are you looking for information about the 2015 ReFrame Film Festival?
It’s no secret that films of substance rarely get the public attention they deserve in Peterborough. Krista English and the ReFrame Film Festival have been working tirelessly to change that.

Evans Contemporary
It’s not exactly a crowded landscape. Visual art is certainly represented here in Peterborough, but you sometimes have to look for it, outside of the obvious locations.
We have publicly funded spaces like the Art Gallery of Peterborough. We have an artist-run centre which is Artspace. We have private galleries like Christensen Fine Art and Gallery In The Attic, among others (which includes the various cafés which feature local art), which are more commercial in nature. All in all, it’s a smallish scene — but rich with talent and passion.
New to the local scene is a lovely space in The Avenues of Peterborough.
