From 1 to 15 August, Burnside Village will be home to Face to Face, a one-of-a-kind exhibition as part of the 2025 SALA Festival.

It’s a celebration of art made by different generations — kids, teens and older adults — who came together to learn from one another and create something amazing.

The artworks started as simple black and white portraits. But thanks to a little imagination and teamwork, they’ve been transformed into bright, bold masterpieces using all kinds of fun mixed media.

Shoppers and visitors at Burnside Village will be able to check out a special selection of these artworks for free.
