Downtown Gallery Hop

10/20/2026

Bring out your inner thespian at Northern Himalayan Café with Theatre Making North Bay during the hop! They'll be doing a play reading of Rock Bottom, a rollicking, romantic comedy about the dangers of straying from the path, and…sometimes…the dangers of staying too close. Even when there are bears.

Read a role or just enjoy listening to the story unfold. No experience or memorization required. Enjoy a 10% discount on delicious Himalayan food throughout the evening!

The WKP Kennedy Gallery is currently undergoing renovations BUT they're having a special pop-up just for you tomorrow 😎

Then & Now, a pop-up exhibition curated by Hannah Fournier-Kast, takes a look back through the years, reflecting on the monumental moments, memories, and transformations that have shaped the WKP. Through a selection of works, images, and stories, the exhibition traces how the gallery has evolved, revealing the ways its spaces, exhibitions, and communities have changed alongside one another.

As they look towards the major gallery renovations planned for 2026, this pop-up display offers an opportunity to pause and reflect on where we have been, where we are now, and what might come next.

Planned for outdoors, but may move inside to the lobby of the Capitol Centre if there is rain!

The North Bay Museum will be open late for Downtown Gallery Hop on Friday! They currently have two awesome exhibitions on display. “People of the Watershed: Photographs by John Macfie is a multilingual photo exhibit offering an intimate portrait of life in Indigenous communities of the Hudson’s Bay watershed, using photos by John Macfie during his work in Northern Ontario in the 1950s and 60s. The peoples and places of Attawapiskat, Sandy Lake, and other watershed communities are seen in photos organised and circulated by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, Kleinburg, Ontario, and curated by nîpisîhkopâwiyiniw (Willow Cree) cultural advocate, and curator, Paul Seesequasis."

Also on display is “An Educator’s Passion” curated by Dr. Kurt Clause, featuring 100-year-old photographs and equipment used by Harry Ricker, a naturalist and teacher at the historic North Bay Normal School, a precursor to what eventually became Nipissing University. The exhibit also brings focus to the ancestors of local birds, posed in action by Chief Ernest Couchie, the first known Nbisiing taxidermist.

📍100 Ferguson St
