Join Artscape Gibraltar Point in putting the pedal to your paintbrush with our inaugural Winter Island 2018 public workshop & event, hosted by Artist-In-Residence, Jeff Nachtigall.
For this one-day-only project, Nachtigall has adapted his Mobile Painting Device to turn a set of specially modified bikes and trikes, into ride-able paintbrushes.
Hop on a bike, make your mark, and contribute to the creation of a large-scale mural celebrating the unique bicycle culture of the Toronto Island Community!
This mural will be displayed as part of the 2018 Winter Island Exhibition to be held at Artscape Youngplace May 27 – June 9, 2018.
