Struts Gallery L'Ambiance Sappyfest
2026-08-02 12:00 - 19:00
From Friday July 31st to Sunday August 2nd at 12-7pm, Struts Gallery is happy to present L’Ambiance, a series of artist projects running contemporaneous to everyone’s favorite music festival, Sappyfest. L’Ambiance includes work by artists Teagan and Jacob and Annie France Noël.

Teagan and Jacob will be presenting Porta-Confessional, a participatory, ephemeral sculptural installation which takes the form of a confessional, constructed as twinned (non-functioning, replica) Porta-Potties. Within this playful, secularized confessional, Sappyfest attendees of all ages are invited into a moment of contemplative reprieve.

Annie France Noël will create a hybrid space where installation, performance, and encounters with the public co-exist in relation to her work with sheep’s wool and its various stages of transformation (from raw fleece to weavable thread).
