Expansive, playful and low-barrier art-making in community – from wherever you can join us!
WHAT & WHO?
For the second year, we are thrilled to present Murals Without Walls! A unique program that involves 3 FREE digital low-barrier process-based creative art making workshops which prioritize Mad, D/deaf, and Disabled participants who are artists – whether you are a professional artist or are just starting to dabble in art making!
Following the studio workshops, Vancouver Area registrants will be invited to apply to a professional jury for the opportunity to create a portable mural featured in this year’s Vancouver Mural Festival in August 2022.
Three guided digital workshops facilitated by Kay Slater, are designed to explore The Self, encouraging artists to expand their unique creative process, supported by demonstrations, conversation and community.
Registration includes a kit of supplies for Vancouver Area registrants (maximum 30 kits available); participants are also encouraged to incorporate materials readily available at home.
WHEN & WHERE?
Workshops will run Wednesday May 25, Thursday May 26 and Friday May 27 with the choice of time:
Session One : 5:00PM – 630PM
Session Two : 7:00PM- 830PM
Live workshops will be hosted digitally on Curiko (www.curiko.ca) with auto-captions in English, with ASL interpretation and auto-transcripts available via Otter and CART services.
Registrants will receive a link to join the workshops and how-to videos and transcripts of workshop content for 24/7 access, on your own schedule.
REGISTRATION DEADLINE: MAY 15, 2022
NOTE: Registrants who participated in 2021 are welcome to attend the workshops and apply for the mural creation opportunity, however if you received an art supply kit you will not be eligible to receive one this year.
