Acrylic Painting à la Christi Belcourt (ages 8-14)

Instructor: Shelby Dawn Smith

In this workshop, we will be creating an acrylic painting inspired by the work of artist Christi Belcourt. Belcourt is a Michif visual artist born in Scarborough, Ontario with family roots in Manito Sahkahigan (Lac Ste. Anne, Alberta). Her artwork was featured in the recent group exhibition Solastalgia at the Douglas Family Art Centre. Christi paints animals and plants native to Ontario, including endangered wildlife. In this session we will draw inspiration from Belcourt’s works to create their own unique imagery featuring local wildlife in Belcourt’s signature style.

This workshop will take place on Saturday, September 13 from 2-4pm. The cost to register is $35 (no tax) or 31.50 (no tax) for MUSE members.

Registration and payment are required to reserve your space in this class, and can be completed in-person or online. This workshop is intended youth ages 8-14. Limited to 16 participants. All materials are supplied.
