I have been an artist mentor this summer for a local project called Engaging Huron's Youth in Arts and Culture. For the past two month's local artist Natalie Hussey and I have been meeting with youth in Goderich and Blyth. Each artist has painted a piece of the mural on 3'X4' of unstretched canvas offering their visual perspectives as youth in Huron County. The mural pieces have been linked in groupings and hung in the reception area in the Blyth Theatre. Our opening reception takes place on Thursday, August 6 from 7-8pm. The mural will hang at Blyth Theatre until September 19 when it closes for the season. The mural will then tour public buildings in the county until January.
What has impressed me the most is the committment and enthusiasm of these artists to the medium if paint of canvas. Painting is alive in Huron County!
