The Blue Mountains Creator Space Digital Arts Lab has moved all workshops to an online format, and is now offering free online learning to residents of South Georgian Bay.
“Online workshops feature a video conference format that offers online participation by the students in small class sizes. These workshops teach and explore fundamental digital arts skills in the areas of digital video, digital design, digital sound and digital photography,” says Tracy Strnad, creative director with the Blue Mountains Creator Space Digital Arts Lab.
The Creator Space is a not-for-profit digital arts lab and learning hub, in partnership with the Blue Mountains Public Library, and supported by the Canada Council for the Arts. It offers free membership and allows members to access the free workshops, webinars and online resources.
“An artist profile webinar series called Digi-Talk is also available, where local digital artists will discuss their artistic background and demonstrate their craft,” Strnad says.
The April 7 Digi-Talk event will feature animator and illustrator Jeff Wilson, and the April 21 event will feature musical group Shipyard Kitchen Party.
The Creator Space’s Digital Art Exhibition will also move to an online format, originally scheduled for April 2020 in the Blue Mountains Public Library Gallery.
“Digital Art works by local digital artists will be exhibited online to include photography, design, illustration, sound, music and video works,” Strnad added.
Submissions for the digital art exhibit will be accepted until March 31, 2020. For more information visit www.tbmcreatorspace.com/art-exhibition-2020.
