ArtPartners

March 12, 2010

Past events

On March 8, 2010, Art Partners participated in the International Women’s Day event held at the Lakeside Inn. Attendees were invited to express their thoughts and feeling about women’s day by painting on a woman’s form. The art piece was featured as the door prize.

Upcoming projects

Although the February/March session of Art Partners is wrapping up, Art Partners will be involved in all kinds of exciting community projects in the coming months:

Mural for New Horizons Seniors Centre

Local artist Kelley Morrell will be collaborating with Art Partners participants to create a large scale, indoor mural in the hallway of the Kenora Recreation Centre that leads to the New Horizons Seniors Centre. If this is something that interests you, please contact us.

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

Art Partners will be showcasing a large group art project at Lakewood School on March 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. as part of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. This event is being organized by the Kenora Resource Team and will include a variety entertainment show and art exhibit. Drop by, check out the art and  vote for your favourite art piece. The art pieces that receive the most votes will be displayed at the Lake of the Woods Museum from March 23 to March 31 as part of the Respect Our Diversity art exhibit.

Community Bench Project

Due to the overwhelming success of our first ever community bench project in 2009, Art Partners will again be painting bright murals onto hand-crafted wooden benches and gifting them to various community locations.
The Beaver Brae Builders, led by teacher Dan Olscamp, are again doing an amazing job of designing and building unique benches for this project. 
Once the building phase is complete, small groups of Art Partners participants will paint murals onto the benches.
Please contact us if you would like to take part in this project.
