UNMUTED: Kevin Sutton
Unmuted is a celebration of the powerful voices, words, and music of seven Ontario artists.

SILENCE CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Attention all Silence Guelph Community members: After careful consideration of the current situation involving COVID-19. The team at Silence has made the difficult decision to cease all programming effective immediately until further notice.

So while we encourage all to practice social-distancing as much as possible to help flatten the curve and slow the spread of…
