AFTERNOON SHIFT
2019 - 2022
In partnership with the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, Wonder’neath ran a free, drop-in pilot program, Afternoon Shift, that was open to youth, their families, friends, and support networks. The atmosphere of the program was relaxed and supportive, with several artist facilitators on hand to guide participants through specific techniques or help them get started on an independent project.
Materials were aplenty with a range of drawing and watercolour painting supplies in one area, textile supplies including hand sewing, embroidery and needle felting in another area, and a third table with a changing focus from mixed media collage to printmaking to painting.
Healthy snacks including veggies and cookies were supplied by Pavia Galleria.
This program was fully physically accessible and multi-stall washrooms are all for all genders.
