aMUSE Collected – the 1970s

Presented by the St.Catharines Museum & Welland Canals Centre
Saturday 24 May at 7PM at Mahtay Café & Lounge, 241 St. Paul Street
Suggested donation $5

The St. Catharines Museum and Welland Canals Centre is pleased to announce that the second season of the aMUSE event series will begin on Saturday 24 May at Mahtay Café and Lounge.

There will be four installments of aMUSE in 2014. The second event is scheduled for 21 June, while the third and fourth events will take place on 1 and 29 November, all at Mahtay. The pop-up exhibits will feature artifacts collected by the Museum during a specific time period, hence this year’s theme: collected.

Artifacts collected by the Museum in the 1970’s will be on display at the May 24 event, while items collected in the 1980’s and 1990’s will be the focus of the June 21 and November 1 events. Objects collected by the Museum in the 21st century will be on display at the final event on November 29. Each exhibit will also include photographs of happenings in the City drawn from the St. Catharines Standard Collection.

“Our pop-up exhibits are a new, innovative way to see and interact with the St. Catharines Museum’s collection” says Kathleen Powell, Curator and Supervisor of Historical Services for the City of St. Catharines. “The new, social museum experience is another way of connecting the public with the resources that the museum houses and protects.”

The 2014 season of aMUSE also features musical performances by local artists. Our superb line-up features Fox Trail (24 May), Aaron Berger and the Blue Stars (21 June), Whiney Pea (1 November) and Brittany Brooks (29 November). Anchoring the music for our entire series this year is the quintessentially cool DJ Marinko, who will be spinning at every event.

Doors open for each event at 7PM. There is a suggested donation of $5 at the door and space is limited. For more information, check out aMUSE’s Facebook page or visit us on the web at www.stcatharines/amuse
