Snow Painting Experiments… see us at Nuit Blanche this Saturday!

Lately, our neighbourhood has been decorated with something like Earth Art crossed with graffiti?ácrossed with scenes from?áan herbalist’s laboratory. We have been practicing and experimenting with “Snow Painting”: using herbs and vegetables as dyes to apply to snow and ice.

?áAs part of an artistic process (similar to dyeing?áfibres, mixing paints from scratch, or crafting makeup) non-toxic Snow Painting is fun, always has an element of unpredictability, and?ámaintains many factors that can affect the final effect.

Join us in?áthese curious experiments at Nuit?áBlanche, this Saturday 26th from 3pm to about 9pm,?áin the Griffintown Cultural Corridor (956 Ottawa, and 141 Ann) in Montreal.

Having practiced and experimented with our new craft, we are confident that our collaborative effort will yield a beautiful “painting” in the snow for all to enjoy. We will also have a community-participatory location, in which people can try some Snow Painting for themselves.

We are on the free shuttle bus, (Wellington and Ann)?áso add us to your list of fun things to?ásee that eve!
