Artist Talk! Theresa Hopkins, Wandy Cheng and Jennie Town - Feb 6 at 6pm

Artist Talk and Q&A: FREE

February 6th at 6pm: ONLINE through Instagram 'Live'

Please join us online on Monday February 6th for a special Artist Q&A with Scarborough Highlights artists Theresa Hopkins, Wandy Cheng and Jennie Town, who were featured participants in Akin's recent Winter Exhibition and Market at the Clark Centre for the Arts in Scarborough. Among other things, we'll be asking what it means to be an artist from Scarborough? What kinds of experiences do artists face when practicing outside the downtown core? How can cities and organizations better support artists facing different barriers of access and opportunity?

This event will take place through Akin's @akinprojects Instagram Feed. To join, please follow @akinprojects and be on Instagram at 6pm on February 6th 2023! Questions and thoughts are welcome during and before the event through the live "chat" option, and by messaging erin@akincollective.com in advance.

She has used these experiences and the knowledge she developed to mentor clients from around the world for the last 5 years. She feels privileged to have spent her 25-year professional career in the charitable sector fundraising and marketing for the missions of crucial causes and arts & culture organizations. Her current focus is creating a platform to support women in the caring professions with wellness resources, practices and indulgences.
