CREATIVE WRITING KICK-START with Richard Scarsbrook

MAKE YOUR MARK with Steve Cohen (Hollywood movie set design artist)
Saturday, September 11 from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Location: Downtown Collingwood, Hurontario Street
This workshop is designed to lead creative discussion and experimentation on graffiti’s related issues of urban intervention, activism, political identity, and local and cultural history. It will also provide a creative outlet for teens to discuss graffiti as art, not as an act of vandalism. Attending this workshop is not simply about learning how to paint and draw graffiti-style. It’s about team work, channelling creativity, ownership, and installing self confidence.
