Community art project honours Red Deer’s front line workers
Central Albertans are encouraged to join local artist Erin Boake over the next two weekends to help in the creation of a community art piece thanking front line workers.
As part of Alberta Culture Days during the month of September, the Red Deer Culture Days and City of Red Deer initiative is free to participate and open to all levels of artistic abilities.
Wendy Meeres, Culture Community Development Coordinator with the City of Red Deer, says physical distancing will be in effect, with sanitizer and masks provided, as well as all art supplies from The City of Red Deer.
“We are inviting the public to come downtown and paint little 5×5 canvasses with hearts on it to thank our front line workers for all that they’ve been doing since COVID started,” explains Meeres. “Once they complete it, we’re going to put it all together in one large piece and it is going to be hung permanently at the Red Deer Regional Hospital.”
