Kala (Hindi for “arts”) is a beloved and growing art showcase produced by the South Asian Mommies of Milton (SAMM). It celebrates the vibrant spirit, heritage, and creativity of South Asian culture by giving both emerging and established artists a platform to express themselves.
This year, as we mark our 10th anniversary, Kala takes on special significance. Over the past decade, SAMM has built Kala from a grassroots community exhibit into a powerful cultural institution — a place where art connects generations, tells migration stories, and reflects our shared identity. The anniversary edition will be a celebration not just of art, but of our community’s journey, growth, and commitment to nurturing creativity.
At Kala, visitors will experience a diverse range of visual art — paintings, mixed media, and more — that explore themes such as home, belonging, memory, and migration. By spotlighting South Asian voices in Canada, we deepen cultural connection and foster an inclusive space where artists feel seen and supported.
Join SAMM Friday May 8 from 7-9 p.m. for their opening reception. |
