ABOUT
Test Press is an artistic development opportunity for This Town Is Small members to use our space (The Hilda Woolnough Gallery in Arts Guild PEI) for self-directed experimentation. It is a celebration of trying new things, failure, fine tuning, and test driving. Artists are invited to use this opportunity for creating new work, hosting experimental events/workshops, exploring new processes in the gallery space, and more!
