The Collage Party
by Paul Butler | Parties led by local artists
Exhibition runs November 28, 2019 - February 14, 2020
Collage Party dates:
December 6, 7 - 11 PM (Launch). Led by Meganelizabeth Diamond.
January 9, 7 - 11 PM. Led by Todd Kowalski.
January 23, 7 - 11 PM. Led by The Weather Parade Dance Theatre.
The Collage Party invites the community to create, chat, and collage in this series of parties held at Graffiti Gallery. Collages made during these parties will be exhibited at the gallery throughout the show run.
As Paul Butler, creator of The Collage Party will not be in attendance, we invited local artists to lead the parties in Paul’s place. These artists will lead the group in a fun evening of collage and friends. Our artist lineup includes Meganelizabeth Diamond of the Winnipeg Underground Film Festival (photo, film, collage), Todd Kowalski (bassist of Propagandhi, charcoal, oils), and The Weather Parade Dance Theatre. Each artist will bring elements of their own practice into the party, incorporating music, moving images, and dance. All of the artwork featured in the exhibition will be made throughout the run of the show, which will give community members a chance to exhibit their own work as well as build an evolving community voice into the show’s foundation.
