Know Before You Go

Why it matters

Silence grew from a former garage on Essex Street into a home for adventurous sound in Guelph. Its origins lie in Ben Grossman's studio plans in 2012, followed by a collective with Gary Diggins and Daniel Fischlin. Music, improvisation and community activity share the space. The venue's history includes a collaboration with the Guelph Black Heritage Society that carried performance into the surrounding street.

Local tips
