Halcyon Days: Ultra Vivid at John M. Parrott Art Gallery

Local artist Briana Godden invites you to her first-ever solo exhibition, Halcyon Days: Ultra Vivid, which transforms Gallery One of the John M. Parrott Art Gallery into a surreal world where her captivating paintings come alive. Experience the full exhibition all March long at the Library Gallery, 254 Pinnacle St, Belleville. (February 28 to April 1)
Operating under the moniker Lady Brazen Studios, Godden is a Quinte West–based artist whose paintings combine surrealism with bold, vibrant colour. Her work has been featured by Global News, YourTV Kingston, Umbrella Magazine, and The Intelligencer, and showcased in juried shows and festivals all across Ontario. Her paintings and limited-edition prints are held in private collections internationally.
Godden’s paintings are defined by a signature combination of black-and-white subject matter punctuated by hyper-vivid colour. She uses digital collage as a foundation, reimagining and remixing nostalgic imagery into distinct conceptual works. These designs serve as a reference only, which she then freehand paints on canvas. Her artworks create a sense of transformation, nostalgia, and wonder, reframing familiar scenes through a surreal lens that invites emotional and narrative depth. The Art of Surreal Life encapsulates the conceptual language of her practice.
Based out of her home studio in Trenton, Ontario, Godden personally conceptualizes, paints, frames, and prepares every original and print. Her evolving body of work reflects a commitment to craft and storytelling, offering viewers a space where familiar moments reveal the unexpected.

The Music Machine – DJ Christopher
Born and raised in Toronto, DJ Christopher developed a lifelong love of music through late-night radio and the iconic CFNY 102.1, The Spirit of Radio. His early years were spent immersed in the Queen Street West club scene, shaping a deep and eclectic musical taste.
Now based in The County since 2020, The Music Machine is a journey through the sounds he’s collected over a lifetime—blending brand-new indie discoveries with timeless classics.
Expect anything from emerging UK indie tracks to vintage gems by Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, or The Stone Roses, with the occasional surprise from Massive Attack or New Order. No two sets are ever the same.
Great songs bring people together—and they pair perfectly with great beer. Join us as we launch and explore The Music Machine.

RISE is a space for women to be seen, heard, and honoured. This annual exhibition is an invitation to all who identify as women to share their artistic voices—bold or quiet, emerging or established—across painting, illustration, photography, mixed media, textiles, sculpture, and ceramics.
Aligned with International Women’s Day 2026 and its theme Give to Gain, RISE explores what grows when we offer our time, our stories, our care, and our creativity. What do we gain when generosity becomes a practice? When women lift one another, what becomes possible—for ourselves, for our communities, for the future?
RISE is more than an exhibition—it’s a gathering of voices, a shared platform, and a declaration that women’s creativity shapes culture.
Exhibition: March 6th-27, 10:00am – 4:00pm (closed Mondays, Weekends)
Featured Artwork: Angela Wiggins, “I Am Here”

St. Patrick’s Day Party
2026-03-13 18:00 - 22:00 | UpFront Cafe – 313 Front Street, Belleville
In March of 2023, a call was put out to assemble a crew for a St.Patrick’s day event in Deseronto. When the dust had settled around the shamrocks, beer and whiskey the line up looked like this:
Steve Tanner, with a leaning towards the blues;
Dan Clost, with a soulful voice and pickings and a celtic heart;
Terri Clancy, the talented artist from the end of a road;
Stephen Medd, the historical balladeer and songwriter;
Randy Stewart, the man who knows no loves songs;
Ron Marshal, the man from the country;
Cousin Gibbard Suede, freshly released from the Witness Protection Program
It was a magical evening of song, drink, dance and so much more. It has been said it was legendary!
We dare to recreate this experience, 3 years later and 30 minutes up the road at the Upfront Café, on Friday March 13th.
Doors open: 5:30 pm

Rhythm & Ritual: A Cacao & Dance Experience
2026-03-13 18:30 - 21:00 | Absolute Wellness, 121 Dundas Street East, Suite 202, Belleville, K8N 1C6
We’ll open in circle with ceremonial cacao – warm, grounding, heart-opening, and shared with intention. This is our moment to arrive, drop in, and tune the body and heart to the same frequency. A few breaths, a simple intention, a collective “okay… let’s go.”
Then we let DJ N!X take the lead, and our space becomes your dance floor. The music builds and the movement unfolds, starting slow, then playful, pulsing, and free. Guided at first, then open to your own expression, this is part ritual, part release, part dance party for your nervous system.
You might sway, stomp, shimmy, shake, or melt onto the floor. All of it belongs. There’s no choreography, no talking once we’re moving, and no judgment, just beats, breath, bodies, and presence. Move as big or as subtle as you want. Take breaks. Drink water. Lie down if needed. This is your dance.
We’ll close by easing the energy back down, letting the music soften and the magic land, grounded, connected, and glowing. Come comfy, come curious, ready to sip cacao, and let your body take the lead.

LIVE MUSIC: Chris Morris @ Meyers Creek Brewing
2026-03-13 20:00 - 22:00 | Meyers Creek Brewing, 60 Dundas St E, Belleville, K8N 1B8
Chris Morris is a folk singer based in Prince Edward County.
A casually charismatic performer with a penchant for tall tales and a near exhaustive repertoire of songs to charm audiences of all temperaments, musical stalwart Chris Morris has carved out a reputation as a popular, in-demand singer/songwriter/musician on festival stages, pubs and clubs throughout Eastern Ontario.
Known for invoking an atmosphere of unbridled fun, storytelling moxy and musical dexterity to any stage, Morris brings the same level of commitment to his sometimes wildly varied set list of classic covers as he does to his bitingly clever and unabashedly authentic original material, making for a potent, must-see experience.
While it’s easiest to identify his delivery and style under the broadly inclusive Folk umbrella, Morris cites the music of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, country troubadour Hank Williams, the psychedelic mastery of The Grateful Dead and jazzy machinations of Phish as equally inspiring alongside giants of folk such as Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly – not to mention the iconic Bob Dylan and of course Kingston legends The Tragically Hip
