Copping’s practice has developed in two distinct directions. The first is grounded in the development and exhibition of sculpture and installation work. This work usually includes the use of glass and has transitioned from commercial galleries to public galleries as the work has increased in scale and complexity. The second direction is the blown and carved glass vessels, and very functional production glassware series.  Both aspects of Copping’s practice started their evolution around his attempts to understand our place in a world where change is the only constant. While the functional blown and carved glass vessels have become an exploration of form, surface and light, it is through the sculptural work that he has continued to examine that initial idea.

As the Shoreline Disappears will be on display at the Agnes Jamieson Gallery from July 23 to September 19, 2026.  The Gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.  All are welcome.  Admission is by donation.

Artist Biography

Copping was an Artist-in-Residence at the Canadian Canoe Museum.  Through the work produced during this residency, he began to explore the history of Indigenous–settler relationships and to examine his own position within this legacy.  A more recent project, Resource Room, a collaboration with Anishinaabe artist Alice Olsen Williams, was an immersive installation of blown glass, textile, sound and projection in the former King George Public School in Peterborough.

Séan McCann — The Shantyman — returns with a new set of original songs, alongside the trusted favourites audiences know and love, for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the moment we’re living in.

Between constant noise, relentless headlines, and the pressure to keep moving without pause, Sink or Swim asks a simple but vital question: how do we stay afloat when the world feels louder, faster and heavier by the day.  Armed with his guitar, and an unwavering commitment to truth, Séan invites audiences into a shared space of reflection, resilience, and release — where singing isn’t optional, it’s essential.

These are songs about the undertow — and what we do to resist it. About finding your breath when everything feels urgent. About choosing presence over panic, connection over isolation, and humanity over noise.

Come as you are.
Leave a little lighter.
The choice is yours: Sink or Swim.

Over 20 years ago, Tanya McCready and husband Hank decided to quit their jobs and move to Ontario’s wilderness to build their dream of starting a dogsled tour company, a family and a lifestyle around their beloved Siberian Huskies.

The Winterdance huskies have had many adventures from Maine to Alaska including competing in six 1000-mile races in Alaska and the Yukon and now dogsledding, corporate workshopping and feature films.

Hear about these incredible dogs and how their passion, heart, and drive inspire, every single day. The presentation also weaves in tales of adventure – failure, heartbreak, heartwarming stories, and triumphs.

We are kicking off our 2026/27 movie season with our first film, I Swear, on September 10 with showings at 4:15 and 7:15 pm at the Northern Lights Performing Arts Pavillion.
I Swear is funny, heart-wrenching and based on a true experience. It is a compassionate, clear-eyed portrait of the life of Tourette’s activist John Davidson. It focuses on identity, dignity, and the powerful impact of mentors and allies in helping people understand what it means to be neurodiverse with a condition like Tourette’s. Actor Robert Aramayo who played John Davidson won a BAFTA Best Leading Actor award for his performance.
