Celebrate the Lunar New Year in artistic fashion at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
The Shadbolt is welcoming the Year of the Dog with a Chinese brush painting drop-in session on Saturday, Feb. 17 from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Longtime students from the Shadbolt’s Chinese brush painting and watercolour classes will demonstrate the use of Chinese brushes, ink and paint. Participants can try their hand at basic techniques and create their own simple painting on rice paper to take home.
While you’re there, you can also check out a student exhibition called Year of the Dog: Celebrating Chinese New Year, on display at the Encores Café gallery from Feb. 1 to 26.
