Moncton art show features local tunes
On Friday, June 26, starting at 7 p.m. at Aberdeen Cultural Centre in Moncton, there will be a “live art show” featuring artists Janet Mlodecki, Pascal Leo Cormier, Andrew Robson and Ian MacMillan.
The concept of the event is that the four artists will have four canvases and will simultaneously work on the canvases together, interchanging pieces and creatively collaborating with one another. The live art will be filmed and a fast-motion video of the evolution from blank canvases to completed pieces will be posted online.
The event will also include mood music from DJ Bones, as well as performances by Morse Code Alphabet and Jonah Hache.
Cost at the door is $7.
