Much of Butler’s work captures the female body in motion. Inspired and surrounded by her work, this figure drawing session will feature model Carol-Ann Bohrn, a well-known Winnipeg contemporary dancer, choreographer and former Foundation Mentorship Program mentee. This is fitting, as Sheila Butler helped to found MAWA in 1984 and launch its longstanding mentorship program in 1985.
The free drawing session will begin with a brief tour of the exhibition with Gallery Director Blair Fornwald, followed by two hours of drawing in a U of M studio. It will include quick and longer poses by the dynamic model Bohrn. Participants are asked to bring their own materials. Drawing boards are provided. No need to register, just show up.
Free! People of all genders welcome.
