Each workshop begins with a short presentation of works and archives, followed by a creative activity facilitated by a local artist. All equipment is provided. Beginners are welcome!

In February, Library and Archives Canada highlights Black History Month and takes you back to the late 19th century. Step by step, recreate a portrait from the collection, using acrylic paint.
