Art from the Archives: Paint workshop

In September, Library and Archives Canada (LAC) will pay tribute to a historic site in the National Capital Region. One step at a time, recreate a landscape straight from the collections using acrylic paint.

What is the Art from the Archives series?

Designed to spark your creativity, this series invites you to explore the lesser-known artworks from the collections preserved at LAC. Each workshop begins with a brief presentation of selected artworks and archives, followed by a creative activity led by a local artist. All materials are provided, and no experience is necessary!
