Paint Night by the River

This event is just open to Western students. Space is limited and registration is required.

Paint Night by the River is an interactive session led by artist Moses Lunham. Moses (Anishnaabe) is an accomplished First Nations artist from the community of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation. A graduate from Fanshawe College's Graphic Art and Design Program (1990) Moses has worked with many First Nation communities in Southwestern Ontario by providing a wide range of art workshops inspired by his culture.

"Creating art is a very therapeutic experience. It heals and provides us the opportunity to make connections to story and cultural teachings that are needed for Mino Bimadziwin (A Good Way of Living)."

In 2015 Moses was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for his art from the Anishnaabek Nation. "My work is a reflection of my people (Anishnaabe), their spirituality and ideology."

The evening will include a step-by-step painting tutorial on beautiful hand-carved cedar paddles. No prior experience is necessary to get involved. All supplies will be provided at this event, just bring yourself!
