📢 Meet the Artists!

In January, we & @CanadaNY launched #ConnectingPerspectives to support artists across disciplines & build community across distances.

26 artists in 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 were paired & funded to create 13 new, collaborative artworks. https://t.co/Vv5Q59ONpo

[The Social Distancing Festival @DistancingFest]

We're thrilled to announce the launch of a 7-part event series to hear directly from these amazing artists as they discuss their works & creative processes!

The conversations will be moderated by the project's Artistic Team @semayatavon & @_NicholasGee. https://t.co/6OGjLE78dS

[Saskatchewan Weekend @SaskWeekend]

The way we feel inside about femininity and the way we see it, projected in the outside world.
That's the heart of a cross-border art collaboration between Kimmy Kat and @ChanczP. Chancz joins us to reflect on this
@DistancingFest collaboration.
