The Rural Youth Artist Group presents its fourth art symposium on June 9 at the Elora Legion from 11am to 3pm.
The Symposium is meant to explore alternative urban art forms.
The event will feature a number of talks and demonstrations by professional artists such as DJ BNuts, tattoo artist Andrew Ottenhoff and graffiti writer Zaque Cheetham.
The presentations will be followed by a free pizza lunch and group discussion.
“We are hoping to break some commonly held stereotypes about urban art forms,” said project researcher Katie Southwood.
Chelsea Campbell, a fellow project researcher, added, “It’s bound to be quite an experience.”
All are welcome to attend. Volunteers are needed for the event. The group encourages students in need of volunteer hours to sign up. For information or to be a part of the event email Trish VanKatwyk at tvankatwyk@gmail.com.
