Our summer intern Annalise Prodor is practicing her collage skills and getting excited for Draw.
We’ve been running a 12-hour drawing party for a few years now, but this year it’s going city-wide with events in the afternoon at SNAP and Harcourt House where you can take part in printmaking and life-drawing sessions. In the evening the party comes home to Latitude 53 and we’ll have all of the classic components: collage materials, empty walls to hang your work, a FAVA scratch-animation workshop, CJSR DJs as well as snacks and a bar.

Along with Elizabeth Withey’s enthusiasm for Trevor Anderson’s video in the Edmonton Journal, a few other publications have pointed to the National Portrait Gallery as a highlight in the broad program of The Works. [SEE Magazine’s Mrs. Abraxas writes]: “Latitude 53 has the masterfully curated “National Portrait Gallery,” bringing together an eclectic brood of artists to explore ironic and iconic Pan-Canadian subjects.” And over on the Akimbo.ca Akimblog, Edmonton’s Amy Fung has this to say:
“Featuring artists ranging from local organizers Kristy Trinier, Fish Griwkowsky, Norm Omar, et al, to regional and national names like Terence Houle, Josh Holinaty, Kirsten McCrea, Jonathan Kaiser, and even writer Douglas Coupland, the exhibition is an exercise in standardizing a DIY initiative, and it looks to travel across the country picking up more contemporary portraiture along the way.”
Make sure you get a chance to see the show. After it comes down after July 17, we’ll be plowing into some exciting new summer programming, starting with the return of our famous summer event, Draw, this year bigger than ever. But you’ll hear more about that soon!
