Word and Colour's LIVE Art Exhibit!

<p> <strong>Get placed in the centre of a creative process by watching art and fiction as it's made! </strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>We want to open up our unique process to the public by renting out a space for a live art performance, where an artist and writer will create a new piece in the middle of the gallery!</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> As with our magazine- that pairs painters with writers- an artist will create a live painting, and a writer will then write a new story based on the new art - with the words projected onto the wall as they type.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>In this way, everyone in the room will be granted an exclusive access to the creative process of the artist and the writer- and will be able to purchase the resulting art, with all proceeds going to charity.</strong></p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Saturday, May 30th, 7- 10 PM </strong></p> <p> <a href="https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Belgo+Building/@45.505768,-73.567305,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x4cc91a4f7e4bbd67:0x9b0285ee9c0fbeaf" target="_blank"><strong>372 Sainte-Catherine Street West</strong>,</a> Suite 527 (Le Belgo) </p> <p>  </p> <p> <img alt="11119185_10100934529278535_1008980555_n-1429014441" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/186149/11119185_10100934529278535_1008980555_n-1429014441.jpg"></p> <p>  </p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Liam Lachance is the Editor of <a href="http://www.wordandcolour.com" target="_blank">Word and Colour</a>, and hails from Merrickville, Ontario.</strong> His first novel, <strong><a href="http://www.amazon.ca/Blu-Swag-Liam-Lachance-ebook/dp/B00KPXTYOA" target="_blank">Blu Swag</a></strong>, detailed the chemical spill that turned a forest blue. <strong>He believes in the power of fiction to destroy stereotypes and to represent 'real' people.</strong> He believes art can puncture holes in the systemic attempt to dehumanize groups of people, and aims to reduce violence while giving all people more credit.</p> <p>  </p> <p> <strong>Selections of <a href="http://www.wordandcolour.com" target="_blank">his previous work </a>will also be on display and up for sale</strong> -
