Workshop Series
MAKING ART THROUGH DIALOGUE
& MOSAIC PROJECT
Launch: Thursday October 25, 10am – 2pm
EWMA Studio, 54 E. Cordova
Enterprising Women Making Art (EWMA), a program of Atira Women’s Resource Society, is happy to announce the 3rd Annual Making Art Through Dialogue Series. The project for this year is a three panel mosaic inspired by the theme of this year’s Heart of the City Festival, ‘Voices from the Heart.’ Ann Thorsteinsson, the lead artist, with co-facilitator Jessica Numminen, will create a design based on the dialogue ‘Telling Herstories of food in the Downtown Eastside’ and on visual material created at the workshops. The series is open to women on five Thursdays November 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 from 10am to 2pm. The community will then build and install the mosaics in the sidewalks of the Downtown Eastside in the spring of 2013. No experience necessary; refreshments provided. Space is limited; sign up at the EWMA studio, call 604-685-8043 or email: jessica_numminen@atira.bc.ca. Series is free
This event was on Day 2 of the 12 Days of the Heart of the City Festival. Please check the website for more events!
