The Green is a super special studio hidden downtown, host to many arts events & workshops, with a sweet rooftop patio.

I feel so lucky to get to partner with Suitcase in Point this month (runners of The Green). They have been fundamental to my artistic presence in St. Catharines, and such a lovely crew to learn from and collaborate with!

Founded in 2001, Suitcase in Point is a courageous ensemble of artists and producers who engage and excite the Niagara community with original multi-arts performances and events, including In the Soil Arts Festival and Suitcase in Point’s comedy cabarets.

Through original work and collaborative community projects, we provide audiences with unique perspectives on contemporary life and culture. Our approach and our work aim to challenge perspectives and encourage change, tolerance, and self-awareness with an aim to promote a healthier, more connected community.

Suitcase in Point nurtures new generation artists through mentorship and residency programs, provides studio space for development and rehearsal, and creates meaningful connections between emerging and established artists from across Canada.

The Green is our home for continued development of new work, as well as a place for our community, our peers and inspired folks to conspire, develop work, host events, perform and carry on with wild creative abandon.
