  • Iconography + Identity with Aoife McKirgan

    Campbell River Art Gallery 1235 Shoppers Row, Campbell River, BC, Canada

    Join us at the Campbell River Art Gallery July 4th from 1PM - 3PM for an afternoon full of personal interests, admiration and identity exploration!

    During this workshop we will look at all we hold sacred whether it be pop-culture, environments, or personal experiences to create a collage and drawing based portrait on paper. These portraits will be full of symbolism and the use of iconography to make a representation of who we are when we break down our identities to simple imagery rather than realism.

    Bring your enthusiasm for all that interests you!
