Surburbanscapes: Art Beyond the Metropolis was a new program initiative to commemorate the 30thanniversary of Rosewood Arts Centre and the 60th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Kettering. We celebrated our city’s legacy in a yearlong program series that included interactive artistic events, workshops and activities that dug deeper into our legacy as a suburb and a community pillar for creative expression and education.
