Adult Art Workshop | Fort York Library
Step into the vibrant and symbolic world of Norval Morrisseau, the celebrated Indigenous Canadian artist known as the founder of the Woodland School of Art.

Led by professional artist Kate Medvedok, this session is limited to 10 participants to ensure individual guidance and a supportive creative atmosphere.
All materials are provided, including acrylic paints, brushes, and your choice of canvas or paper.
