Culture Days at the Aurora Public Library By Reccia Mandelcorn Manager, Community Collaboration Simultaneous workshops and fun community energy will get your creative juices flowing when Aurora Public Library invites you to step outside the box on Saturday September 26th between 1 – 4 p.m. and participate in a Culture Days experience with a decidedly local flavour. Culture Days is a national initiative committed to the goal of encouraging all Canadians to make culture a daily part of life. Whether you are already involved in the creative process, or whether you are excited to try a new experience, the Aurora Public Library will be the place to “Feel it! Be it! Do it!” at an afternoon of free workshops. Get into your creative groove with the sweet, soulful sounds of Trinity De Simone. Brought to us by The Arts Music Store, Trinity will be kicking off the celebrations at 1 p.m. in the Library Living Room with a fabulous taste of indie rock vocals and acoustic guitar. Enjoy the music, sample a sweet and get ready for a day of creativity and exploration. If you are interested in photography and would like to take your work to the next level of creativity, join members of the Aurora Public Library Camera Club to learn how to transform your photos into works of art through a variety of post-processing tools. In short talks from a number of members, you will be taken through the process of using digital technology to create new and exciting art forms. Polly Ross is APL's Children's Librarian extraordinaire. With a flair for the unconventional, Polly's “Do It Yourself” makeshops for kids are always open-ended adventures. Connect with your creative spirit as Heather Miller facilitates a mixed media workshop for adults. Participants will create different surface treatments, photo transfers and collages, so bring along some black and white photocopies of your favourite photos and any special decorative items you wish to add. Space is limited, so visit the Library website to register. Using a suitcase of creative writing prompts, Marnie Maguire invites participants to take a relaxing, guided voyage into their own imaginations where they can experience the most enjoyable part of the creative writing process: invention. An invented place, person, and perspective will then take the shape of prose or poetry on the back of a postcard. Space is limited, so visit the Library website to register. Close your Culture Days experience by participating in a fun drama vocal workshop with Lauren Ferraro of Theatre Aurora. Get out of your shell and find your creative voice. Aurora Public Library is the meeting place where people converge and the unexpected happens. Check the Library website at www.aurorapl.com for details, times and any registration requirements. Look for your passport to fun and creativity in this week's edition of The Auroran and at participating venues. Take part in family-friendly activities, win prizes donated by the five sponsoring organizations and make culture part of your daily life. |
