Live at the Gallery is back at Deer Lake Gallery – with an added twist.
The Burnaby Arts Council is kicking off its live music series for 2020 with a night of music on Saturday, Feb. 29 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. The evening will feature two contrasting performances, beginning with classical harp music by Hayley Farenholtz, followed by improvised guitar music by local rocker Shockk (Rob Matharu).
The twist? You’re invited to sketch while the artists perform. Bring your sketchbooks and pencils (or use the materials provided by the gallery) and do some live figure sketching while they play.
“The purpose of this night is to not only appreciate the talented local artists, but engage everyone in art, in a unique way. Feel free to draw, write, compose, whatever you want to create,” says an event write-up. “Of course, you are welcome to simply enjoy the music too.”
It’s free, but you’re asked to reserve a spot at www.eventbrite.ca (search for Live at the Gallery – Songs and Sketch).
Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave. See www.burnabyartscouncil.org for details.
