This exhibition is an ongoing invitation for collaboration and interaction. The JCC Fridge is based on the cozy centre of every home – the kitchen – and provides that most loved and ubiquitous of home galleries – the refrigerator.

For four weeks, the community is invited to come into the gallery, make art of their own, and magnetically hang it on the refrigerators on the walls. Magnetic film isl being used with life-size decals of refrigerator doors in multiple colours and types by different artists, and tables in the gallery are filled with drawing supplies, craft supplies, and magnets. Come in and make something! Open whenever the JCC is open.
