With the courtesy of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), our old friend, artist and art educator Doris Purchase will come to the East and West Learning Club as a guest speaker again, and facilitate AGO Artworks Show & Talk events!
We’ll start with an art engagement workshop in March. Doris will use a video she created for the AGO, introducing two important Canadian artists, and facilitate a very engaging art talk based on their artworks. One way that you can prepare and engage in this workshop will be to think about two words and how they relate to your personal experience: “tough” and “love”. You are also invited to have something citrus and have a smell or taste of cinnamon, ginger or vanilla when you join the zoom.
Guest Speaker: Doris Purchase
Artist and art educator at the Art Gallery of Ontario, Public programming and Learning
Born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Doris has lived in Toronto since attending OCA in 1987. She is a conceptual artist focusing on the painting. Doris works part time for the AGO as a tour guide, and enjoys connecting people with art and engaging them in a creative process.
In 2018, Doris came to the East and West Learning Connections (then ‘the East and West Learning Club’) for the first time, and was one of the guest speakers for our East&West Dialogue event. We were all inspired by the originality of her artworks, as well as the life experience she genuinely shared with us. We are so happy that she will come again and try something innovative, to introduce the highlights of the AGO’s collections, and facilitate talks to connect our life experiences with the art!
