Three performance spaces in Guelph took part in the Day of Visibility Tuesday.
A nationwide grassroots movement to raise awareness of those in the arts community who have lost work due to the pandemic, the event saw 665 venues across the country light up their performance space with red lighting.
In Guelph the River Run Centre, Market Square and Guelph Little Theatre took part.
"On Tuesday 22 September, 2020, an hour after sundown, we are asking technicians, suppliers and venues across the country to light up live events in red – raising awareness for an industry that is still dark," said the official website for the event, lightuplive.ca.
"Early response has been overwhelming. Organizations, grassroots groups and individuals are coming together to ask and assist with illuminating landmarks in red, bringing to light the many performers, creators, technical, logistical, and management support personnel who drive a $100 billion Canadian economic engine."
