Artist Walks

Part of the in-person Industry Series, the Artist Walks group participants with local artists for casual walks through the local neighbourhoods that have informed the artist’s practice or identity. It’s an opportunity to see the city through an[other] artist’s eyes, and converse in fresh air. As these walks are curated for small groups, be sure to RSVP in advance if you have registered for an In-person pass.
