Great Art for Great Lakes holds free online workshop series

To The Haldimand Press

HALDIMAND—Great Art for Great Lakes (GAGL) held its first workshop in a series for this year’s artist projects on May 13, 2020. GAGL 2020 artists Layla Black, Paul Chartrand, Thomas Anderson and Richelle Miller, Gina McIntee, and Heather Smith were commissioned to host a series of live, interactive workshops – dubbed GAGL TV – as they work towards the completion of five new public art pieces. 

GAGL TV brings together artists and community members during these unprecedented times to celebrate the water that surrounds and connects us all. Through a series of weekly online streams, GAGL TV leads participants through art-making workshops, artist talks, and musical performances that will culminate in publicly installed art pieces throughout Norfolk County, Haldimand County, and Six Nations of the Grand River.
