SUMMARY:Opening Reception: “Threading through Time: Stories of Migration and Resilience”
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time: Thursday\, October 1st at 7 PM – 10 PM\nGallery Hours: Tuesdays – Fridays: 10 AM – 5 PM & Saturdays: 12 PM – 4 PM\nLocation: ODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC\nIndigenous Territory: Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \nJoin us at the ODD Gallery for the opening reception of Threading through Time: Stories of Migration and Resilience\, a solo exhibition by Indian-Canadian multidisciplinary artist Par Nair. \nThrough hand embroidery\, textile-based installation\, and creative writing\, Nair explores the connections between migration\, memory\, cultural heritage\, and belonging. Drawing from South Indian textiles and ancestral practices\, her work honours the women who came before her while imagining diasporic futures shaped by care\, resilience\, and resistance. \nWith deeply personal storytelling and labour-intensive textile practices\, Threading through Time invites us to consider how cultural traditions carry memories across generations\, how displaced identities adapt and survive\, and how creative practices can become tools for healing and imagining new possibilities. \nCome celebrate the opening of this thoughtful and intimate exhibition with us at the ODD Gallery. Everyone is welcome! \n\nAbout the Artist\nPar Nair (she/her) is an Indian-Canadian multidisciplinary artist and educator living and working in the Greater Toronto Area. Her practice explores lived experiences of diaspora through decolonial methods and a return to ancestral practices\, working across painting\, hand embroidery\, installation\, and creative writing. \nPar holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts from OCAD University and has exhibited nationally and internationally\, including at the Textile Museum of Canada\, Craft Ontario\, the Kochi Biennale\, and Nuit Blanche. She currently teaches drawing\, painting\, and critical theory at OCAD University and facilitates painting and hand embroidery workshops in collaboration with libraries and art institutions. \nThis exhibition is made possible through the generous support of our funders and community supporters. \n

SUMMARY:DRAWLIDAYS VII 2026
DESCRIPTION:For the seventh year in a row\, the ODD Gallery is calling on Dawson’s artists\, doodlers\, sketchers\, sculptors\, screen printers\, weavers\, beaders\, sewers\, and enthusiastic amateurs for Drawlidays VII – our annual secret portrait exchange. \nHere’s how it works: \nYou sign up. We assign you a person. You draw their portrait. We exhibit all artwork. You take home a portrait of yourself. \nParticipants who have registered and paid the registration fee will receive their portrait subjects by Friday\, November 6th\, when you’ll receive the name of your portrait subject. From there\, it’s up to you to create your artistic interpretation of your assigned community member. \nYour finished portrait will be submitted to the ODD Gallery\, where all portraits will remain under wraps until the big reveal at our annual Drawlidays VII Exhibition Opening on December 11th\, 7 PM – 9 PM. \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE\n\nREGISTER AND PAY the registration fee by midnight on Thursday\, November 5th. Limited to 70 participants\nREGISTER HERE\nPAY YOUR REGISTRATION FEE \nRECEIVE YOUR ASSIGNMENT on Friday\, November 6th.\nDRAW YOUR SUBJECT. You’ll have one month to complete your portrait.\nDROP OFF YOUR PORTRAIT at the ODD Gallery by 4 PM on Thursday\, December 3rd.\nREPORT FOR THE REVEAL on Friday\, December 11th from 7 PM – 9 PM at the ODD Gallery.\n\nWHO CAN JOIN?\nEveryone. Seriously. \nYou do not need to be a professional artist\, and your portrait does not need to be perfect. Drawlidays is about the fun of interpreting another person through your own creative style – whether that means pencil portrait\, painted masterpiece\, tiny cartoon\, reclaimed materials sculpture\, animated digital art\, embroidery\, beading or something we absolutely did not see coming. \nThe only requirement is that you pay the registration fee and submit a completed portrait of your assigned community member by the deadline. \nREADY\, SET\, DRAW!\nDrawlidays is a fundraiser for the ODD Gallery\, and all fees go towards supporting artist programming.

SUMMARY:Burnstick Live Concert at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom
DESCRIPTION:Burnstick Live Concert at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom\nDoors open – 7:30 / Concert – 8:00 \n— \nBurnstick is a Canadian folk music duo forged from passion and unfiltered emotion — where two voices become one powerful musical force. Anchored by the resonant Weissenborn lap slide guitars of Plains-Cree guitarist Jason Burnstick and the rich\, poetic songwriting and harmonies of francophone-Métis vocalist Nadia Burnstick\, their sound is at once cinematic and intimate. Drawing from a decade of life lived fully — as partners in both art and life — their music carries stories of love\, loss\, belonging\, and the sacred ties that shape who we are. Guided by a fearless creative spirit and unafraid to push boundaries\, Burnstick creates soul-stirring landscapes that challenge listeners to feel deeply and reflect inward. Backed by their drummer\, Nadia and Jason perform deeply resonant music that always strikes a chord with audiences. JUNO-nominated and critically acclaimed\, they stand not only as musicians but as storytellers of heart and human connection.
